Dua Kumail & Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (AS) by Jan Ali Kazmi - p2

  Dua Kumail & Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (AS) by Jan Ali Kazmi - p2

worth listening.. it tells how less important is our sorrows against those of Imam Hussain (A.S) and his companions 

The Promise

This would be the final and concluding part of my previous poem "it was never 'us' it was always you and me" 

All those pieces of my heart

which were shattered far apart

I kept trying to bring them near

and to put the life in next gear

Today I had to break up a promise

which I did to myself last year

not to come alone

and have a friend with me along 

I wasn’t so strong to handle this so early
the sparking smile and the memories
all came back to me within seconds
and will haunt me for more years

I can only wish you; a good life
with all the happiness and prosperity 

after all it was never ‘us’ always you and me :)

Everybody Hurts

Posting another lyrics of a song Sang by REM and a beautiful cover done by THE CORRS. great lyrics :)


When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Well hang on

Don't let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
(When your day is night alone)
Hold on, hold on
(If you feel like letting go)
Hold on
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Everybody hurts
You are not alone)

heard this funny poetry on some tv channel in dubai

"kon kehta hai key tum befawa ho
ya or baat hai key tum muj sey khafa ho
or agar tum khafa ho toh
jaldi sey idher sey dafa ho "

Going to Makkah

Going to Makkah is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of prayers are offered

Going to River Ganges is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of cleansing (Baptisms) are done

Going to Gaya is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of worships are done

Bulleh Shah the ultimate is
When the “I” is removed from the heart!

- Bulleh Shah

O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal (Mori Araj Suno)

O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
I am a faithful follower of my Creator
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
My true Lord, you had said
“Go man, you are master of the world
My bounties on earth are your treasure
You are the viceroy of your Creator”

After baiting me with these promises
Countless years have passed by
My Lord, did you ever enquire what transpired with your man
What your man has suffered in this world?

Somewhere, those in power and with the means intimidate, harass and terrorize
Elsewhere, draft and bribery are rampant
My soul is shaken down to my bone
Just like a bird flutters when caught in a trap

You made a fine king indeed, my sweet lord
All I have gotten are endless beatings
I don’t want kingship, my Lord
All I need is a morsel of respect

I have no desire to live in palaces
I just want a small nook to live my life
If you agree with me, I will agree with you
I won’t decline anything no matter how unreasonable

If you don’t look out for me God!
Then I should go and seek for myself another god
O my lord, pay heed to my appeal

With this grimace
Pleading
Sharing the pain
Rowing the boat
Asking for his blessings
Waiting expectantly
Countless centuries have passed by
Only now has it been revealed
The one who you had appealed to
The one who held your hand and guided you
Where your boat had docked
From whom you had asked for a panacea for your pain
The one who did not visit your temple
It was you only
It was you only
