Dil un sey jo manga by Sher Ali Mehr Ali

The talk of their grace fills every gathering and place,
The pure soul is unveiled in the face of their divine grace.
Their radiant countenance casts light that none can match,
Even the darkest tresses cannot obscure its dazzling batch.
Their bearing is majestic, their voice a call so grand,
Words flow like pearls, born of the purest strand.

In their gaze, paradise beckons with a pull so deep,
Their eyes, like the hunter’s, are drawn to secrets they keep.
A masterpiece of character, with virtues refined,
From the grace of the Prophet, all truth they did find.
In the company of their followers, a star’s light shown,
Like the moon amidst the stars, their brilliance is known.

One day, Ukba approached and said to you,
"Our goal is wealth, and we shall make you rich, too.
We’ll grant you riches, power, and command,
But if your aim is something else, we understand.
If wealth is what you seek, here's the chance—
Yet truth and prophecy are in God's stance.
The message of the Prophet, the faith must remain,
Nothing else is worthy, all else is in vain.
How extraordinary was the Prophet’s way,
No wealth or power could ever sway."

From the beginning, your mission was to serve humankind,
Concerned with others' troubles, ever compassionate and kind.
You healed the wounds of both kin and stranger,
A friend to the orphan, a protector from danger.
In service to the needy, you stood strong,
Sharing in their sorrow, and guiding them along.
Your speech brought joy and peace to the hearts of men,
Your character was a path to follow again and again.
Everyone believed in your noble, virtuous way,
They called you the "Truthful One," in awe every day.
The talk was all about your great, noble deed,
And how your pure soul met every need.

The first light of truth is the light of the Prophet,
From which all souls and the heavens have been wrought.
It is through this light that mankind gained its sight,
In its love, the believer finds eternal delight.
From the beginning of time, this light was the goal,
The best of creation, the last to make us whole.

Many Prophets have come to the world,
But it was this one, the best of all, who unfurled.

The universe was adorned with the light of this truth,
From this light arose the grandeur of life’s youth.
The light of Muhammad was a mirror of traits divine,
In it, God saw His own beauty, so pure, so fine.
All veils of the unseen were now revealed,
And the self of the Prophet, in His light, was sealed.

The essence of the Prophet was of mercy and grace,
A simple act of kindness, a smile on His face.
The limits of His noble character had no end,
For His goodness shone like the evening sky, my friend.

The banner of submission is the foundation of eternity,
All messengers brought the call of eternal piety.
From every height, the call of submission rings,
The ultimate wisdom lies in the submission it brings.
The Prophet’s pride was in His bond with the Divine,
And hidden in His actions was this truth, sublime.

He was the renowned King, beloved by the Lord,
Every gesture of His, eternal and adored.
He was never arrogant, nor proud in His mission,
Whenever He spoke, it was in humble submission.
He made His bond with the Divine His utmost care,
And gave the message of servitude, so pure and rare.

The formation of livelihood has been established,
The perfection of the faith has been completed.
The verses of the Divine have been revealed,
The message to the world has been sealed.
Humanity's perfect example lies in the Prophet,
In this caravan of life, the Prophet is the ultimate destination.
The map of the righteous still shines today,
The character of the Prophet remains protected, come what may.
People still hear His words, still feel His presence near,
The realm of light is still visible, clear.

Charcha Har Anjuman Mein, Jo Unki Ada Ka Hai - TheLegend.NFAK

What is this restlessness of day and night, this bliss of eternity?
Except for the love of the Prophet (pbuh), what flows from these eyes with such clarity?

Why do the distances from the city of Muhammad (pbuh) never shrink?
I often wonder, what lies between us in this sacred link?

My dwelling is safe, for His grace still endures,
I was but naive, unaware of the paths, the trials, the cures.
Yet my Protector, the Compassionate, preserved my honour pure,
He never allowed me to falter, He kept me secure.

The door to His presence is never closed to the forsaken,
It always remains open, for mercy is never mistaken.

My refuge stands intact, His grace ever enduring,
Had it not been for my courage, my strength would be failing, unsure and blurring.

To one who feels the gentle drizzle of his Prophet’s (pbuh) name,
What use is the shelter of a dark cloud, or the tempest’s claim?

The banners of His glory unfold, surpassing even Sidra’s height,
What are the heavens and the earth, what are realms of time and light?

Yeh Roz-o-Shab Ki Betabi, Yeh Lutf-e-Jaan - TheLegend.NFAK

Fikr-e-manzil hai na hosh-e-jada-e-manzil mujhe
Jaa raha hoon jis taraf le jaa raha hai dil mujhe

I care not for the destination, nor the path I should take,
For I am led by my heart, wherever it may break.

Kisi se meri manzil ka pata paaya nahi jaata
Jahaan man hun farishton se wahaan jaaya nahi jaata

No soul can reveal where my true journey lies,
Where I dwell, even angels' wings cannot rise.

Hadd-e-kunfikan se guzar gaya
Hadd-e-lamakaan se guzar gaya

Beyond the bounds of being, I have flown,
Through infinite realms, where time is unknown.

Teri justuju mein khabar nahi
Main kahaan kahaan se guzar gaya

In search of you, I’ve lost all trace,
Through countless lands, I’ve wandered in grace.

Kabhi misl-e-mauj-e-hawa-e-gul
Kabhi bann ke dood-e-fughan-e-dil

At times, like a breeze with the rose’s scent,
At times, like smoke from a heart’s lament.

Tere shauk-e-deed mein baarha
Tere aastaan se guzar gaya

In the passion of your gaze, again and again,
I’ve crossed your threshold, through joy and pain.

Yeh toh apna apna hai hausla
Yeh to apni apni udaan hai

This is each one’s courage, bold and bright,
This is one’s own flight, through day and night.

Koi ud ke reh gaya baam tak
Koi kehkashaan se guzar gaya

Some soared high to the roof’s embrace,
While others passed through galaxies in grace.

Shab-e-hijr has ke guzaar li
Gham-e-ishq dil se laga liya

I spent the night of separation, with a smile so true,
And in love’s sorrow, my heart found its hue.

Mere jazbe shauk ki daad de
Main har inteha se guzar gaya

Praise my thirst, my longing deep,
Through every limit, my soul did leap.

Woh makaam dair o haram bane
Wahīn sab ki gardanein kham hui

That place of temple and mosque, now one,
Where every neck in devotion was undone.

Wahīn sar basajda hui jabeen
Tu jahaan jahaan se guzar gaya

There, the forehead bowed in humble grace,
And you passed through every realm, in time and space.
