سوتوں کو جگانے کی رات

ساقی ہے شب برات پانے کی رات
یہ رات ہے سوتوں کو جگانے کی رات
جو مانگے کا سائل وہ ملے گا بے شک
یہ رات تو ہے خاص پلانے کی رات

Dust Turned them into Dust

Arch of light upon the forehead

With ruby like lips and bright face

Dust turned them into dust

How many went under the dust

(Qalander Baba Auliya ؒ) 

Explanation:

People with bright foreheads; illuminating with the signs of prostrations and hey had all the worldly beauty radiating from their faces, when they died and they were buried, the earth turned their remains into dust. We cannot reckon the number of people of such beauty and charms. Men walking on the surface of the earth, with might and pride, finally go down into the dust and the dust turns them all into dust. And, that might be the same dust which many others would be raising by their feet.
