Modern Sufi-2

A week ago, I did a post on modern sufi. Somebody left a shair of Allama Iqbal on comment section and I think, this one shair describe what I really wanted to say

Khuda kay Aashiq to haiN hazarooN,
banoN main phirtay haiN, maaray maaray
MaiN uss ka bunda banooN ga

jiss ko Khuda kay bundoN say payar hoga

{God has thousands of his (human) lovers
roaming astray in jungles (to seek him)
I will be the disciple of one,
who would have love for humans }

  1. Iqbal is always worth quoting
    Let me rewrite it after consulting "Bang-e-draa"
    Khuda kay ASHIQ to hain hazaon, banon main phirtay hain maaray maaray
    Main Uska banda banonga jisko khuda kay bandon say piyar hoga

    "Zamana Aya hay bay hijabi ka áam deedar-e-yar hoga"
