This ghazal was recited by a saint "Shri Tulsi Sahab" to a Muslim Businessman, who wanted to understand how to find ALLAH!!
Dhyan gairo ka utha uske bithane ke liye.
Cleanse the chamber of your heart, so that the Beloved may enter,
Remove all the foreign impressions, so that He can take His seat there.
Chashme dil se dekh yaha jo jo tamashe ho rahe,
Dilsita kya kya hai tere dil satane ke liye.
See with the heart's eye the astonishing spectacle of this world,
What heart ravishing scenes appear there to entice you.
Ek dil lakho tamnna us pai aur zyada havis,
Phir thikana hai kaha uske tikane ke liye?
One heart, with many desires, and always the lust for more,
Where is there any place for the Lord to come and reside?
Nakali mandir masjido me jae sade aphosa hai,
Kudarati masjid ka sakin dukh uthone ke liye.
It is a great pity that, going in the false [imitation] temples and mosques,
The indweller of the true mosque [the human body] is made to suffer.
Kudarati kabe ki tu maharab me sun gaur se,
A rahi dhur se sada tere bulane ke liye.
We should listen with attention in the prayer niche of the true Kaaba,7
The sound is coming from the Court of the Lord and is calling you.
Kyo bhatkata phir raha tu e talashe yar me,
Rasta shah rag me hai dilvar pai jane ke liye.
Why are you wandering around lost in search of the Beloved?
The way to reach the charming one lies through the shah rag.
TULSI SAHAB
