Only a Myth...

The sun is pouring in,
Through the window and right onto your skin.

The wind so restless to play with your hair,
The angels envy your walk; with such flair.

You always bring a dance in your step,
And invoke jealousy and pain inapt.

Now I realise what I have lost,
My world shadowed by a dark holocaust,

Memories devouring me bit by bit,
And in the end I'll be Only a Myth.

(Ok i tried to rhyme, don't be mean. P.S : This stuff is all random, I didn't write it for someone in particular.)

Rumi, I love you...

“For ages you have come and gone 
courting this delusion. 
For ages you have run from the pain 
and forfeited the ecstasy. 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Although you appear in earthly form 
Your essence is pure Consciousness. 
You are the fearless guardian 
of Divine Light. 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

When you lose all sense of self 
the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. 
Lose yourself completely, 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You descended from Adam, by the pure Word of God, 
but you turned your sight 
to the empty show of this world. 
Alas, how can you be satisfied with so little? 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Why are you so enchanted by this world 
when a mine of gold lies within you? 
Open your eyes and come --- 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You were born from the rays of God's Majesty 
when the stars were in their perfect place. 
How long will you suffer from the blows 
of a nonexistent hand? 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

You are a ruby encased in granite. 
How long will you decieve Us with this outer show? 
O friend, We can see the truth in your eyes! 
So come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

After one moment with that glorious Friend 
you became loving, radiant, and ecstatic. 
Your eyes were sweet and full of fire. 
Come, return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Shams-e Tabriz, the King of the Tavern 
has handed you an eternal cup, 
And God in all His glory is pouring the wine. 
So come! Drink! 
Return to the root of the root 
of your own soul. 

Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. 
Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. 
The road that leads to the City is endless; 
Go without head and feet 
and you'll already be there. 
What else could you be? - you are That.” 


Rumi---

This healed me, I post it for the purpose that it might help others as well like it did for me. For all the poor souls out there, lost, depressed and hopeless. Just give this a read, try to understand it and well, remember you are not alone like that, atleast I am with you and so is Allah.

People have never been there for me, music has...

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

The sun is soaring in, from the window and right onto your skin, I've never seen anything quite that beautiful, picturesque. It's a Saturday morning, as usual I have nothing to do. I go out with iPod and coffee again. Yes, same old rant it seems like but out of nowhere. This song 'Eddie Vedder & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - The Long Road'
pops up.

And I wished for so long, cannot stay...
All the precious moments, cannot stay...
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay...
But I feel something's missing, cannot say...

Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down...
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

And the wind keeps roaring
And the sky keeps turning gray
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day...

We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
How I've wished for so long
How I wish for you today

We all walk the long road.

i have goose skin durin´this song ... it´s whole transcendence and life philosophy ... overcoming sadness when someones died. I have a very soft spot for this song. Not only is it a fantastic song in its own right, it was the catalyst which introduced me to the incomparable wonders of music. When you dont have anyone to talk to, anyone who understands you, or no friends. I guess thats when music walks in. Sadness and happiness, both are ok. Its the transition that kills. It started raining, though it ruined the coffee I couldn't run away from this. Such eloquence, solitude and rain and this moment i stopped taking music for granted. I shall stop writing becuase I sound like a 'emo' guy. Let me leave you with a quote, becuase the only thing that can express the unexpressible, after silence is music.

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”
― Victor Hugo

So it begins....

And i Quote

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

-Ernest Hemingway

This Quote, provoked me. Out of all the things this hit me, like a strong gush of wind. I thought, a thought to myself, that if I kept keeping all these thoughts, these feelings

locked up inside, my brains might be on the walls any one of these days. I grabbed a cup of hot coffee, iPod and ofcourse my pencil (yes i like writing with a pencil for some reason). Went to the rooftop, its a beautiful night, stars glimmering, a perfect crescent and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's exQuisite melody just made it all, all better. For now,

I set on this beautiful journey, I shall write whatever may come until I bleed, and when I do, I will bleed more and more until the paper is white no more. 

P.S : Thanks to AMNA, ALEENA, KHADEEJA, MAYA AIESH, AWAIS AFTAB & ZAINAB KHAWAJA for writing such 'akheeer' blogs. Especially AMNA's and Maya Aeish's posts for helping me in ways no one can even understand. Although I'm far away from anything lie peace but their posts make the world all better.
