Keep love in your heart and strive- Rumi

عشق را در دل نگه دار و بکوش

حسن او راه تو را گردد خروش

عشق کو دل میں رکھ اور کوشش کر؛

اس کی خوبصورتی تیرے راستہ کو خوشنما کر دے گی۔

Transliteration:

‘Ishq raa dar dil negah daar o bekoush

Husn-e oo raah-e to raa gardad khorosh

English Translation:

Keep love in your heart and strive;

Its beauty will make your path resound with joy.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. - Rumi

 امروز چو هر روز خرابیم خراب

مگشا در اندیشه و برگیر رباب

صدگونه نماز است و رکوعست و سجود

آنرا که جمال دوست باشد محراب

آج بھی ہر روز کی طرح ہم تباہ ہیں، بالکل تباہ؛

خیال کا دروازہ نہ کھول، رباب اٹھا لے۔

سو طرح کی نمازیں ہیں، رکوع اور سجدے؛

اس کے لیے جس کا محراب دوست کی خوبصورتی ہے۔

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Today, like every day, we are ruined, utterly ruined;

Do not open the door to thought, but take up the rabab.

There are a hundred kinds of prayer, bowing, and prostration,

For the one whose mihrab is the beauty of the beloved.

Mother, perhaps the most coveted gift of ALLAH ..

Maybe it's her eyes,
Such lovely eyes,
That see into the center
Of my Soul,
And, filled with faith,
Help lighten
All my burdens
With their caring;

Maybe it's her lips,
Such tender lips,
That kiss my tear-stained cheek
And heal my hurt,
That warmly smile
As we talk,
And I am strengthened
By their sharing;

Maybe it's her ears,
Such sensitive ears,
That hear beyond my voice
Into my heart,
And are never closed,
But always open
To my thoughts
And deepest needs;

Maybe it's her hands,
Such gentle hands,
That work and weather life
Without complaint,
That lovingly forever
Seem to bless
My mortal days
With kindly deeds;

Maybe it's all of these
And even so much more,
That make my own
Dear Mother
So easy to adore...

Without her, my world would come to an end.
