NASIR


Rumi answered: How could God say, “Do evil to find good?” If someone sows wheat, can they gather barley? Or if they sow barley, will they gather wheat? That is impossible. All the saints and prophets have said that good is the reward of good, evil the reward of evil.
"And whoever does an atoms weight of good shall see it,
And whoever does an atoms weight of evil shall see it."

Maya literally means "that which is not." In the twilight, one may easily mistake a rope for a snake. In so doing, we feel fear. Hence fear and other emotions may often be based on illusion, an incorrect perception of reality.

chaahe zameen ho yaa ho aasmaan,
WHETHER 'TIS THE EARTH OR THE HEAVEN,


Thokar me.n apnee hai.n dono.n jahaan,
BOTH THE WORLDS ARE FOR ME TO KICK,


chaahe zameen ho yaa ho aasmaan,
WHETHER 'TIS THE EARTH OR THE HEAVEN,


Thokar me.n apnee hai.n dono.n jahaan,
BOTH THE WORLDS ARE FOR ME TO KICK,


jitnee guzaaree isee shaan se guzaaree hai,
AS MUCH AS WE'VE  PASSED, WE PASSED WITH SUCH POMP!


aise maze kee hoy,
EH, SUCH FUN!


aise maze kee pyaare zindagee hamaaree hai,
OUR LIFE IS SUCH A FUN DARLING!


(chorus:
phoolo.n se dostee hai,
FRIENDSHIP WITH THE FLOWERS,


kaa.nTo.n se yaaree hai,
AMITY WITH THE THORNS,


aise maze kee pyaare zindagee hamaaree hai,
OUR LIFE IS SUCH A FUN DARLING!)


apnee Khataao.n pe bhee naaz hai,
EVEN OF OUR SLIPS, WE’RE PROUD!


judaa saaree duniya se andaaz hai,
DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD IS OUR STYLE,


apnee Khataao.n pe bhee naaz hai,
EVEN OF OUR SLIPS, WE’RE PROUD!


judaa saaree duniya se andaaz hai,
DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD IS OUR STYLE,


pee bhee nahee.n hai aur phir bhee Khumaaree hai,
WE HAVEN’T IMBIBED, AND YET ARE DRUNK!


(chorus:
aise maze kee hoy,
EH, SUCH FUN!


aise maze kee pyaare zindagee hamaaree hai,
OUR LIFE IS SUCH A FUN DARLING!


phoolo.n se dostee hai,
FRIENDSHIP WITH THE FLOWERS,


kaa.nTo.n se yaaree hai,
AMITY WITH THE THORNS,


aise maze kee pyaare zindagee hamaaree hai,
OUR LIFE IS SUCH A FUN DARLING!)


Hrrrr....ahaa... ha ha ...O baabu...ohaha..
