All Praise To Allah, All Glory To Him

All praise to Allah, all glory to Him.
Let peace prevail and equality win,
let truth reign supreme,
let all unhappiness and misery,
all oppression and tyranny,
all cowardice and falsehood
perish for good, for good!
All glory to Allah, all praise to Him.

Let all pain and sorrow,
all disease and want
disappear.
Let there be no fear
of jealousy and hatred,
Let the timid, the weak and the old
grow fearless and bold,
let them conquer death
and glow with the fire of an undying faith.
All praise to Allah, all glory to Him.
No more will recklessness and disorder prevail.
The prison houses with their fetters broken
will be of no avail.
Effortlessly will men sail
over the barriers of hills, deserts and seas.
Let dishonesty, ignorance, greed and selfishness perish!
All glory to Allah, all praise to Him;

Let youth prevail and senility disappear,
let the faith in 'we shall succeed' prosper.

Those who cower and say 'We shall fail'
are truly dead even if they breathe.
They are creatures of darkness.
they are like the children of stone,
haunted by fear they always keep barred their doors
Only those who have life's spark burning in them
are worthy of the name of men.
let us only know such men as they,
let us befriend only them!

If the stirring of surging life
is not felt within one's own self
none from outside can awaken him
from his slumber.
The hero who dares conquer
the impossible,
walks with his head high
among the stars in the sky,
and yet his footsteps make
the earth quake,
With his tireless efforts
he makes the impossible happen.
The wild fury of the storm is his companion,
and millions of stars and planets
show him his path as he wends his way.
Let man rise up, confident in his strength,
vast and unseen.
All praise to Allah, all glory to Him.

One who has the spark of youth in him
knows no defeat.
He always fights with his heart and soul,
and when he fails to win
he never flees the battle field,
but fights on till the end.
Let inaction and weakness of man
vanish today for good,
let the invincible youth reign supreme.
All glory to Allah, all praise to Him.

All men have equal rights
over the gifts God has bestowed
on this earth.
The sun and the moon shed their light
equally' on all.
When rain rails it, too, falls for all.
That is the divine decree.
If someone acts contrary to this
and hoards everything in his coffer,
many are inevitably deprived and robbed.
Rise up, all the downtrodden and oppressed
of this earth,

Unite and wrest your right
from the tyrannous lords,
else you will violate God's own decree
and burn in eternal hellfire.
Let there prevail again on this earth
equality and comradeship.
All glory. to Allah, all praise to Him.

There will be no inequality or poverty any more.
City folks and villagers will get food equally.
There will be no kings, emperors, landlords
and moneylenders.

You will not find festivities in one household
and hungry moans in another,
You will not find some one
living in a big palace
and another in a dilapidated cottage.
All such inequalities will perish for good,
and the world will turn into a beautiful abode
of loving brotherhood,
Let there be complete equality and peace,
let truth reign supreme!
All praise to Allah, all glory to him.

#3. Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi 

Jalal al-Din Rumi was born on September 30, 1207 in Balkh (Afghanistan). His father Baha' Walad was descended from the first caliph Abu Bakr and was influenced by the ideas of Ahmad Ghazali, brother of the famous philosopher. Baha' Walad's sermons were published and still exist as Divine Sciences (Ma'arif). 

He fled the Mongols with his son in 1219, and it was reported that at Nishapur young Rumi met 'Attar, who gave him a copy of his Book of Mysteries (Asrar-nama). After a pilgrimage to Mecca and other travels, the family went to Rum (Anatolia). Baha' Walad was given an important teaching position in the capital at Konya (Iconium) in 1228 by Seljuk king 'Ala' al-Din Kayqubad (r. 1219-1236) and his vizier Mu'in al-Din. Rumi married and had a son, who later wrote his biography. In 1231 Rumi succeeded his late father as a religious teacher. His father's friend Burhan al-Din arrived and for nine years taught Rumi Sufism. Rumi probably met the philosopher ibn al-Arabi at Damascus. 

In 1244 Rumi's life changed dramatically when he met the dervish Shams al-Din of Tabriz. Rumi spent so much time with him that his disciples became jealous until Shams was murdered in 1247. To the music of flute and drums Rumi invented the circling movements of the whirling dervishes and began writing mystical love poetry. his disciples formed the dervish order called the Mevlevis. 

After 1249 the Seljuk governors paid tribute to the Mongol empire. As vassal of the Mongol Baiju, Mu'in al-Din governed Rum for twenty years starting in 1256, and he patronized the mystical poet. 

His disciple Husam al-Din Hasan urged Rumi to write mystical poetry and tales called Masnavi in the style of Sana'i and 'Attar. Rumi completed six books of these before he died on December 17, 1273. Many of his talks were written down in the book Fihi ma fihi, which means "In it what is in it" and is often referred to as his Discourses 

A Moment Of Happiness

A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land 

Description of Love

A true lover is proved such by his pain of heart;
No sickness is there like sickness of heart.
The lover's ailment is different from all ailments;
Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries.
A lover may hanker after this love or that love,
But at the last he is drawn to the KING of love.
However much we describe and explain love,
When we fall in love we are ashamed of our words.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear,
But love unexplained is clearer.
When pen hasted to write,
On reaching the subject of love it split in twain.
When the discourse touched on the matter of love,
Pen was broken and paper torn.  

In explaining it Reason sticks fast, as an ass in mire;

Naught but Love itself can explain love and lovers!
None but the sun can display the sun,
If you would see it displayed, turn not away from it.
Shadows, indeed, may indicate the sun's presence,
But only the sun displays the light of life.
Shadows induce slumber, like evening talks,
But when the sun arises the 'moon is split asunder.'
In the world there is naught so wondrous as the sun,
But the Sun of the soul sets not and has no yesterday.
Though the material sun is unique and single,
We can conceive similar suns like to it.
But the Sun of the soul, beyond this firmament,
No like thereof is seen in concrete or abstract.
Where is there room in conception for His essence,
So that similitudes of HIM should be conceivable?

#1. Kazi Nazrul Islam (National Poet of Bangladesh). 

Nazrul's writings explore themes such as love, freedom, and revolution; he opposed all bigotry, including religious and gender. Throughout his career, Nazrul wrote short stories, novels, and essays but is best-known for his poems, in which he pioneered new forms such as Bengali ghazals. Nazrul wrote and composed music for his nearly 4,000 songs (including gramophone records), collectively known as Nazrul geeti (Nazrul songs), which are widely popular today. At the age of 43 (in 1942) he began suffering from an unknown disease, losing his voice and memory. It is often said, the reason was slow poisoning by British Government. It caused Nazrul's health to decline steadily and forced him to live in isolation for many years. Invited by the Government of Bangladesh, Nazrul and his family moved to Dhaka in 1972, where he died four years later.  

A Mountain Song

We are wild as the storm
We are restless as the spring
We are fearless like god and generous like nature.

We are as free as the sky
We are Bedouin, the deserts wandering tribe.
We know no king
nor any king's laws,
We submit to no rule or regulation,
We are born free with it mind'
open as the blossoming lotus.
We are the murmuring flood tide of the sea
and the warbling waters of the mountain spring

We are generous hearted wide open meadows...
We are mighty invincible hills
We are flying birds with outstretched wings
We are bubbling laughter and gay songs.

We eat wild fruits and drink rain water
We sleep under trees in the depth of green forests
We are the gushing river of life.
We are the flowing waters of mountain brooks
warbling singing roaring
always restless and ever on the move.
