saaNsoN kii maalaa pe simruuN maiN pii ka naam
apne mann kii maiN jaanuuN aur pii ke mann kii Ram
With every breath I take, I chant the name of my beloved
I know of my heart, and God knows of the heart of my beloved
yahii merii bandagii hai, yahii merii puujaa
This is my salutation [and] this is my prayer.
ek thaa saajan mandir meN aur ek thaa pritam masjid meN
par maiN prem ke rang meN aisii Duubii ban gayaa ek hii ruup
One lover was in the temple and another in the mosque
but to me, immersed in the joy of love, both seemed same
prem kii maalaa japte japte aap banii maiN Shyam
Chanting on rosary, the name of Shyam [Lord Krishna], I become him.
Note: A Hindu God sung and revered by the patrons of love.
ham aur nahiiN kuchu kaam ke
matvaare pii ke naam ke, har dam
I am worthless except that
I surrender to the name of my beloved, all the time.
priitam kaa kuch dosh nahiiN hai vo to hai nirdosh
apne aap se baateN kar ke ho gayii maiN badnaam
My beloved is not to be blamed, it is no fault of his
I became infamous only because of talking to myself.

GuruGranthSahib ~ Page 30
Bin gur mehal na pawiye naam na prapat hoye, essa satguru lod lau jis payie sach soyi . Asur sanghare sukh vase, jo tis bhave so hove. Jeha satgur kar janiya, teho jeha sukh hoye. eho sahsa mul nahi bhav lave jan koi. Nanak ek jot doi surat shabad milava hoyi.
Without the Guru, the Mansion of the Lord.s Presence is not found, and
the Naam is not obtained. Seek and find such a True Guru, who shall lead you to the True Lord. Destroy your evil passions,
and you shall dwell in peace. Whatever pleases the Lord comes to pass.As one knows the True Guru, so is the peace
obtained. There is no doubt at all about this, but those who love Him are very rare. O Nanak, the One Light has two forms;
through the Shabad, union is attained.

By your will !! ~Guru granth sahib(Pg-98)
As You command, I obey; as You give, I receive. You are the Pride of the
meek and the poor. You are everything; You are my Beloved. I am a sacrifice to Your Creative Power. By Your Will,
we wander in the wilderness; by Your Will, we find the path. By Your Will, we become Gurmukh and sing the Glorious Praises
of the Lord. By Your Will, we wander in doubt through countless lifetimes. Everything happens by Your Will. No one is
foolish, and no one is clever. Your Will determines everything; You are Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Infinite and
Unfathomable. Your Value cannot be expressed.

To Remember Me ~ Robert N. Test
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face, or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.
Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.
Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.
If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all prejudice against my fellow man.
Give my sins to the devil.
Give my soul to God.
If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

Alif, Allah-Chanbey di Booti (A: Allah The Jasmine Plant) :- Translation
Compared to all the shrubs in the world Jasmine is
the tallest and for that reason I’ve called it a plant.
The flowers are refreshingly fragrant.
My Spiritual Guide planted Allah’s Jasmine plant in my heart
He taught me negation and affirmation of religious teachings
Within me the plant’s fragrance created a tumult
0 Bahu, may my Spiritual Guide, who sowed that beautiful sapling, live long
Do not say prayers, even your intentions are not so only
to show your pious ness you hurry to the mosque
There you perform the ablution, but at heart you’re unclean 0 Bahu,
without a Spiritual Guide your prayers,Intended or not, won’t matter
Even if my whole body is eyes,
I’ll be still unfulfilled looking at my Spiritual Guide
Even if all my pores become millions of eyes, I’l1 be eternally looking at Him
Even after that I’ll be still unfulfilled, then who else should I turn to?
Looking at the luminous face of the Guide is equal to millions of pilgrimages
O moon, rise to give us light and for the stars to worship you
In the streets I’ve seen people turning from riches to rags when the times change
I pray no traveller who is destitute loses his way
O Bahu, though we are mortals but do not disturb us,
for, we’ll fly ourselves like birds
Faith is sought by all, but no one wants the Spiritual Love
My heart is disgusted when people seek faith,
but are ashamed of seeking Love
The Love leads to a goal of which faith has no knowledge
O Bahu, I rather have the longevity of my Spiritual Love than my faith
My Spiritual Guide’s threshold is Ka’ba to me
where the devotees supplicate Between the locks of his tresses is prayer-mat
where all the faithful meet And his chin is like the Fountain in the Heaven where
all the travellers quench their thirst
O Bahu, why should I go to Mecca when I can perform
pilgrimage through my Spiritual Master
I learnt about Allah, memorised Qur’an at school, and was exposed to the world
Though I became scholar, still I was in the pursuit of wealth
Though I read thousands of books still my worldly greed remained unconquered
O Bahu, only God-Men could subdue the inner greed
I’m tired of fasting, praying and prostrating Many times
I performed the pilgrimage, still I’m unfulfilled
Let’s go to another wilderness for there is no place here for meditation
0 Bahu, all is realised by a single glance of the Spiritual Guide
Only heart is the true dwelling place of the Almighty
O seeker peep into it Rekindle the flame of knowledge in the darkness,
because your lips are sealed and lost for words
Do not beg Khizr for the waters of eternal life, because it’s within you
O Bahu, he who gets a Spiritual Guide knows the secret Of the Universe
I’m so ugly, but my Beloved is so handsome, then how can I attract him
He does not enter into my home though I endeavoured to my best
How can I please him when I’m neither good looking nor rich?
O Bahu, my eternal sorrow will be that I may die Crying
I could not find the Creator either in the heaven or earth
I could not find Him in the book or in a mosque’s niche
I could not find Him on my visits to the Holy Ganges and the shrines
I travelled endlessly in His quest
O Bahu, but once I got hold of the Spiritual guide all my torments of quest ended
