Khoobsurat


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSwFxMLQltE

Gehri hain woh aankhein
Dukhi ke dil mein jo jhankein

Meethi hai woh muskaan
Hamdardi ki bane jo pehchaan

Sureeli hain woh baatein
Ghareeb ki fikr ko jo battein

Haseen hain woh haath
Musibat mein jo dein door tak saath

Khush shakl hai woh chehra
Adl-o-insaaf ka dost ho jo gehra.

Bemisaal hain woh ehsaas
Zaalim ke dushman hon jo khaas.

Khoobsurat hai woh insaan
Insaaniyat ho jis ka eemaan.

Oopri rang roop bemaani hai
Husn e sulook ka na koi saani hai.

Only Breath- A poem by Rumi


Incredible.  Mesmerizing.  Soul shaking. Enlightening.  Beautiful beyond words.

An ageless and timeless message of Love and Unity.. no duality ever exists.

The music, Oceanic by Anoushka Shankar makes it even more……( no wordsss..)

ONLY BREATH

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

~Rumi
