THE BEST OF ASSEMBLIES

[Fana fi Shaykh]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU

MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI

Shaykh Nasiruddin, the “Lamp of Delhi”, in one of his conversations recited the following quatrain of shaykh Abu Sa'id Bin Abi'l-Khair twice:

Dar dida bejaay khaab aabast maraa
Ziraa ke bedidanat shetaab ast maraa
Guyand bekhaab taa be khaabash bini
Ay bikhabaraan che jaay khaab ast maraa



This means:

My eyes, instead of sleep, tears they keep,
As in order to see You, my patience I cannot keep.
They tell me to sleep, so that I may see You in my sleep.
O, ignorant ones! How to find room for me to sleep?

ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam

Hamid Qalandar Rehmatullahi ’Alaih writes about his shaykh Nasiruddin Radi Allahu anhu: “He has so broken his ego, that if I call him shaykh, he is annoyed and if I attribute a supernatural power ( karaamat ) to him, he resents it'.
