St. Mansoor

"AGAR HAI SHOUK MILNE KA, TO HARDAM LOU LAGATA JA.
NA RAKH ROJA NA MAR BHOOKHA, NA JA MASJID NA KAR SIJDA.
VAJOO KA TOR DE KOOJA, SHARABE SHOUK PEETA JA.
PAKAR KAR ISHKA KI JHAROO, SAFA KAR DIL KE HUJARE KO,
DUI KI DHOOL RAKH SAR SE, MUSALLE PAR URATA JA.
YAH DHAGA TO DE TASBIH, KITABEIN DAL PANI MEIN,
MASHAYAK BAN KE KYA KARANA, MASHIKAT KO JALATA JA.
PYALA MAI KHUDI KA CHHOR, PYALA BEKHUDI KA PEE,
NASHEY MEIN SAIR KAR PYARE, TU HI TU GEET GATA JA.
KAHE MANSOOR KAJI SE, NIWALA KUFRA KA MAT KHA
ANLAHAK NAM BARHAK HAI, YAHI KALMA SUNATA JA."
If you have the yearning to meet God, then remember His Name and meditate continuously. For this, you need not fast nor die of starvation. You need not to go to mosques and pray there. Drink the wine of Holy Name continuously. Have true love for God and clean your heart. Brush away the dust of duality. Books are of no help in this path, so throw them in the water. You need to keep the flame of Divine Light ever kindled within your heart. Drink from the cup of Divine Love and put aside all worldly desires and lust. Always be intoxicated with divine love and sing the glory of God. The Holy Name is supreme, so sing its glory.
