दुनिया में हूँ, दुनिया का तलबगार नहीं हूँ / बाज़ार से गुज़रा हूँ, ख़रीददार नहीं हूँ

दुनिया में हूँ, दुनिया का तलबगार नहीं हूँ
बाज़ार से गुज़रा हूँ, ख़रीददार नहीं हूँ
~अकबर इलाहाबादी~

[Transliteration]
Duniya mein hoon, duniya ka talabgaar nahin hoon
Bazaar se guzra hoon, kharidaar nahin hoon
~Akbar Allahabadi~

[Translation]
I am in this world, but I don't wish to devour anything from it. I am a wanderer, passing through the marketplace (of life), and I have no desire to acquire anything from here.

आगाह अपनी मौत से कोई बशर नहीं

आगाह अपनी मौत से कोई बशर नहीं
सामान सौ बरस का है, पल की ख़बर नहीं
~हैरत इलाहाबादी~

[Transliteration] 
Aagah apni maut se koi bashar nahin
Saamaan sau baras ka hai, pal ki khabar nahin
~Hairat Allahabadi~

[Translation]
The time of his death, man cannot foresee
Uncertain of the morrow yet, plans for a century

Promises to the Soul...

Feel the fear and just do it. There's always a way when there is a will. Life is too short for an unlived and unloved life and too long to die carrying the cross of distress.

Forgive others and forgive yourself. And then move on. Forgiveness doesn't means making yourself vulnerable again, use freewill and move away from all anguish, hurt and other low energies. Forgiveness is to let go of all negativity and make space empty only for positivity. Remember you don't find what you don't seek.

Give no excuses and take no excuses. Always be clear cut with the truth and let people handle it on its face value.

Happiness stems from within. Always look within. Don't seek it without.

Let go of pretense; both to self and to the world, and similarly stay away from all those who are pretentious. The world is huge and can accommodate everyone without having the need to needlessly run into each other. They are on a different karmic journey, and you on a different, don't try to change the world, change yourself.

Trust your instincts. Trust yourself. And most of all, implicitly trust God. The accountability starts and ends with God and lies not with the humans.

Keep walking... Keep walking... Keep walking...
