سبق دیتی ہے ہر دم اہل  دل کی داستاں مجھ کو

I‘m being given a lesson at every moment by the stories of the Ahlullah

There are great lessons to be taken from the Ahlullah. Their speaking, walking, silence, have great lessons in them. One definition of the Awliya is that when they are seen then Allah Ta’ala is remembered. When the name of Allah Ta’ala is taken then they are remembered as they were the cause of one reaching Allah Ta’ala. They have the qualities which is in Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala is tolerant, so are the Awliya. Allah Ta’ala is kind and so are the Awliya. Allah Ta’ala is forgiving and so are the Awliya.   

Hadrat Thanvi R.A has mentioned that by thinking of the Awliya Nur enters the heart. If a person thinks of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam who is the king of the Awliya then he will find that Nur has entered the heart.

On the contrary, when one thinks of a evil person then darkness enters the heart. This is not difficult to understand. When a person thinks of Shaytaan then darkness appears in the heart. Similarly, when one thinks of the agents of Shaytaan such as the actors, singers, sport heroes, they bring darkness into the heart.      

                                                                    جہاں دے کر ملا ہے دل میں وہ جان جہاں مجھ کو               بہت خون تمنا سے ملا سلطان جاں مجھ کو

By giving the world I found the king of the world in my heart,

By (slaughtering) my desires and blood (had flowed) I found the king of the worlds

                                                                     نظر آتا ہے اپنے دل کا جب زخم نہاں مجھ کو                    تو اپنا درد خود کرتا ہے مجبور بیاں مجھ کو

When the open bleeding wounds of my heart are seen (because of not fulfilling one’s Haraam desire), the love that Allah Ta’ala bestows me with that I cannot stop speaking of the Ma’rifat of Allah Ta’ala

                                                                     بیان درد دل آساں نہیں ہے دوستوں لیکن                         سبق دیتی ہے ہر دم اہل دل کی داستاں مجھ کو

Speaking of the love of Allah Ta’ala is not easy friends, but the stories of the Ahlullah gives me a lesson every moment (how didn’t the Awliya sacrifice, this is my fuel) 

                                                                     زبان عشق  کی تاثیر اہل دل سے سنتا ہوں                       مگر مسحور کرتی ہے محبت بے زباں مجھ کو

The effect of the tongue that speaks of the love of Allah Ta’ala is heard from the Ahlullah, but I have been bewitched by the love of Allah Ta’ala which doesn’t possess a tongue    

                                                                     قفص کی تیلیاں رنگین ، دھوکہ  دے نہیں سکتیں             کہ ہر دم مضطرب رکھتی ہے یاد گلستاں مجھ کو

The beautiful colourful vast of the (bird) cage cannot deceive me (i.e. the bird), as every second the remembrance of the garden causes me to become uneasy

                                                                    مری صحرا نور د اور میری چا کدامانی                          بہت مجبور کرتی ہے مری آہ و فغاں  مجھ کو

My walking around in the jungles and torn scarf, my deep sighs (of the love of Allah Ta’ala) make me totally helpless

                                                                    کہاں تک ضبط غم ہودوستو راہ محبت میں                      سنانے دو تم اپنی بزم میں میرا بیاں مجھ کو

How long must I control myself in the path of the love of Allah Ta’ala, let me give my lecture in your gatherings.  

                                                                   ملا کرتی ہے نسبت اہل نسبت ہیی سے اے اختر                زباں سے ان کی ملتا ہے بیان در فشاں مجھ کو  

Connection with Allah Ta’ala can only be acquired from those that have connection with Allah Ta’ala, by their tongues we get pearls
