Is it fair that I’m suffering hardship in prison?
Thou art flying on pasture and trees, the freedom.
Dear Friends! reckon your friendship I miss
I’m in prison, and you enjoy the garden bliss
O my companion, do remember the bird in a cage,
While chirping to see fresh morning’s face.
Remember the time spent together and friendship,
Owe you certainly, my Love, my companionship.
The lovers cherish sweet memories from morning till noon
Especially when their Love is like Laila and Majnun.
O friends! Busy drinking cups in sweet company
Me but swallowing the bitterness of being lonely
Raise a cup of wine just in my name
Let thyself be fair in this game
Or while drinking for old friendship’s sake
While drinking, spill a drop, the earth may take
I wonder why? Where had that trust bygone?
The promise kept by those sweet lips is torn
Bereavement follows a disregarding attitude naturally.
Sin, when answered by a sin, what’s so bad?
Oh God! Thy wrath and rage made in war
My soul is sweeter than listening to guitar.
Oh God! Better than wealth is the hardship imposed
I love Your revenge with my heart, my soul
Tasting the fire, I wonder if your radiance worth
Your grief so beholding; felicity, can I utter a word?
Your curtness is but sweeter than ever
Anyone who reaches thy subtlety may never.
If thy covetousness is but ever caught
Instead of wailing bitterly, one must laugh
I weep, I entreat, that makes certain
He takes mercy and lessens the pain.
I certainly adore His cruelty and His kindness
Loving the opposites of my wondering sense
I Love the ‘Source’ where they cove
How can I survive without Love
By God, if I’m away from this thorn
I like Bulbul, may have my heart torn
Strange bird in sadness, her face mourn
The grief may drown the garden, the thorn
It’s not simply a Bulbul but a dragon of fire
Love has consumed her pleasing attire
He Loves Whole – He is the only One
Loves Himself and Love He has won

Zikr or Dhikr, meaning “Remembrance,” is the devotional act in Islam in which short Duas and prayers are recited repeatedly to remember Allah (SWT). Dhikr is a very powerful and simple way to worship Allah (SWT) when we lack time, and it carries many benefits and virtues. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance” (Quran 33:41).
