Man Na Manam - Kalaam Hazrat Shah Niyaz Barelvi (R.A.)

Aashiq-e-Be Khabar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam , Na Mann Manam, 

Arif-e-Baa Hunar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam.

 I am in Love, lost to the world

I am not, Yet, I am,

Realized as a soul I am,

I am not, Yet, I am 

 Soze Dil o Jigar Manam, 

Vehshat e Pardadar Manam, 

Danish e Bakhiya Gar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam.

 A flame in love, I am, 

Restless in solitude, I am, 

The all knowing healer, 

I am, I am not, Yet, I am.

 Husn-o-Jamaal-e-Haq Manam, 

Ijz-o-Jalaal-e-Haq Manam, 

Hashmat-o-Jaah-o-Far Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam.

The beauty of Truth;

Its magnanimity, I am

I am its grandeur, It's splendor

I am,Yet, I am not

 Sufi-e-Baa Safa Manam, 

Be Khud-o-Ba Khuda Manam, 

Ahl-e-Dil-o-Nazar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam.

The purest of the pure,

I am with him, Yet without him I am,

The heart and vision,

I am, Yet, I am not

Isa-e-Maryami Manam, 

Ahmad-e-Hashmi Manam, 

Haider-e-Sher-e-Nar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam.

Mary's Christ, I am,

I am, Ahmad of Hashim,

I am of Ali the bravest of the brave,

I am, Yet I am not

Raaz-o-`Niyaaz'-e-Khud Manam, 

Soz-o-Gudaaz-e-Khud Manam, 

Karda Qadam Be Sar Manam, 

Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam

The keeper of inner secrets,I am,

I am, the reflection of my anguish

He who moves on his head,

I am, Yet, I am not.

These lines from Hz Shah Niyaz(R.A.) shows the height of ecstasy-oneness with Allah। He sees in himself various reflections yet he is aware that-whatever he feels he is, he is not। He feels himself full yet he is aware of emptiness। Emptiness felt after total surrender. The height of Tawhid-Only HE is there, every thing else seems to be present but is not. "I am naught, He is all; there is no being but God's." This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement.
