Some poetry that I like to read and listen to and ponder over, taken from this thread:

Teach me the lesson given by the murshid, O faqeer, annihilate, just annihilate yourself

Teach me the lesson given by the murshid, O faqeer, annihilate, just annihilate yourself

Do not assume this annihilation as THE annihilation, rather annihilate in love O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself
And if you do assume that you are annihilated, you are still not annihilated

On the way, on a dark night, you got looted
Just like dirt splashed in your milk, your milk itself is hitting ( I really didn’t understand this)
There is still time, correct yourself O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself.
Teach me the lesson given by the murshid O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself
Do not assume this annihilation as THE annihilation, rather annihilate in love O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself

Become like a berry tree, upon whom people climb to throw shoes
Become like a berry tree, upon whom people climb to throw shoes
Even if people throw sticks and stones, you just return them with fruits O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself.

Teach me the lesson given by the murshid O faqeer, annihilate, annihalate yourself
Don’t assume your awakening at nights that you are among the awliya
Even dogs are awake the entire night
You think yourself as a Shaykh if you are awake but dogs are awake too, those dogs that are better than you
You think yourself as a Shaykh if you are awake, but dogs are awake too, those dogs that are better than you
These are the dogs which eat dry and stiff piece of bread after staying awake all night, those dogs who are better than you!
Those dogs that never leave the side of their master, even if you hit them 100s of shoes, those dogs that are better than you.
Get up O bulleya, reconcile with him or else the dogs might overtake you

Don’t assume your awakening at nights that you are among the awliya
Even dogs stay awake and guard the house
For that same dry piece those dogs stay awake and you have consumed a lot of blessings
For that same dry piece those dogs stay awake and you have consumed a lot of blessings
Dogs did overtake you, now look into your own self O faqeer, and annihilate, annihilate yourself.
Teach me the lesson given by the murshid O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself

Dieing of before the actual death, make it like 'your' business
Dieing of before the actual death, make it like 'your' business
The one who dies before dieing, actually becomes alive
A man is only a man if he has humanity, but man is dirty
Take the example of nabi (SAW), and tell your nafs O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself
Teach me the lesson given by the murshid O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself

You wear nice clothes and carry your white self (which is made out of dirt)
With so much pride and arrogance you sit in the majlis,
And if that dirt ever comes out, people will willingly throw shoes at you.
Why have you forgotten your true self, this praise is false, annihilate, annihilate yourself.
Why have you forgotten your true self, this praise is false, annihilate, annihilate yourself.

Teach me the lesson given by the murshid O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself
Do not assume this annihilation as THE annihilation, rather annihilate in love O faqeer, annihilate, annihilate yourself.
