Urdu Saying of Hazrat Ali | Quotes of Hazrat Ali Ghazal Poetry Quotes 


مجنوں نے شہر چھوڑا تو صحرا بھی چھوڑ دے

نظارے کی ہوس ہو تو لیلی بھی چھوڑ دے


Majnun abandoned habitation, you should abandon wilderness also; if there be ambition for Sight, you should abandon Lailah also.

(Majn’on gave up living in human habitations and started roaming about in the wilderness. The Lover of God is advised to abandon wilderness also. This is so because it is immaterial for a Lover of God whether he lives in habitations or in the wilderness as God is independent of space and time and is omni-present. The Lover will find Him anywhere and everywhere provided his Love is selfless and sincere.)
