Mind v/s Love : Abdul Ahad Aazad

عقل دپان وُچھ بہار

عشق ونان بن بہار

عقل یوان ہؠتھ کمند

عشق ژٹان قٲد و بند

عقل دپان پرار پرار

عشق دپان لار لار

عقل دپان بندگیی

عشق ونان زندگی

عقل دپان موہرہ دیار

عشق ونان یار یار

Mind whispers: behold the spring;

Love replies: become the bloom.

Mind arrives with snares and chains;

Love shatters every prisoned room.

Mind says: wait, observe, be still;

Love cries: run, pursue the thrill.

(As Allama Iqbal says:

بے خطر کُود پڑا آتش نمرود میں عشق

 عقل ہے محوِ تماشائے لب بام ابھی

Mind seeks safety, kneels to serve;

Love lays life down with fearless verve.

Mind dreams riches, gold and fame;

Love knows but one sacred name.

Abdul Ahad Aazad's few distinct couplets out of his long poem on Mind & Love
