Hazrat Amir Khusrou R.A Gar khalq jahaan zinda bajaanand wa lekin, Mun zinda-e ishqam ki shaheed-e gham-e yaaram.... Translation: People think they are alive because they have soul in them, But I am alive because I have love in myself, And I’m a martyr due to the beloved’s affliction, (for, to a lover, nothing is dearer than the affliction brought forth by the beloved).
