Musings Of A Mad Heart

• Let your Love alone suffice you.

• Promises are but the sentinels that keep intellect from entrance into the realm of faith.

• Regret is the futility of realizing the futility of an action done in the past.

• Faith is the bridge that provides passage between two estranged worlds; From Experience to Hope.

• For a heart in love, the entire universe is the echo of a sweet nothing.

• Logic always betrays heart, and yet one has to stay logical while explaining the heart. What shame!

Khusro said,

lafz nahi, bayaan nahi, saut nahi, sada nahi
dil-e diwaana-e khusrau niko neest
che goyam bad pari rukhsargaan ra
chonani dar nazar nazarregan ra
ki raunaq beshitar mahpaargan ra
dil-e diwaana-e khusrau…………..
che goyam bad pari rukhsargaan ra

Not a word, nor a thought; a sound, nor a cry
All is not well with Khusro's crazy heart
O lovely faced Beloved, what more shall I tell Thee
A thousand idols fade away
when the lovers hold Your limitless beauty
Khusro's crazy heart is not well
What more is to be told O fair cheeked Beloved
