ٹیپو سلطان کی وصیت
تُو رہ نوردِ شوق ہے، منزل نہ کر قبول
لیلیٰ بھی ہم نشیں ہو تو محمل نہ کر قبول
🔍 تشریح:اے طالبِ راہِ حق! تُو عشق و شوق کا مسافر ہے، لہٰذا کسی منزل پر رک جانا تیرے شایانِ شان نہیں۔ اگرچہ دنیا کی سب سے بڑی محبوبہ “لیلیٰ” بھی تیرے ساتھ ہو، تب بھی سکون اور آرام کو قبول نہ کر۔
اے جُوئے آب بڑھ کے ہو دریائے تُند و تیز
ساحل تجھے عطا ہو تو ساحل نہ کر قبول
🔍 تشریح:اے چھوٹی ندی! تُو ایک پُرسکون ندی نہ بن، بلکہ ایک پرجوش، طوفانی دریا بن جا۔ اگر تجھے کنارہ بھی ملے (آرام، تحفظ)، تب بھی اسے قبول نہ کر۔
کھویا نہ جا صنم کدۂ کائنات میں
محفل گداز! گرمیِ محفل نہ کر قبول
🔍 تشریح:یہ دنیا ایک صنم کدہ (بتوں سے بھری ہوئی جگہ) ہے — یعنی یہاں فریب، دنیا پرستی، اور گمراہی ہے۔ اے وہ شخص جو محفل کو گرما سکتا ہے (یعنی بااثر ہے)، دنیا کی وقتی چمک دمک میں نہ کھو جا۔
صُبحِ ازل یہ مجھ سے کہا جِبرئیل نے
جو عقل کا غلام ہو، وہ دِل نہ کر قبول
🔍 تشریح:جب سے کائنات کا آغاز ہوا، تب ہی فرشتہ جبرئیل نے شاعر کو کہا: ایسا دل جو صرف عقل (منطق، حساب، دنیاوی فائدہ) کا غلام ہو — اسے کبھی قبول نہ کرو۔
باطل دُوئی پسند ہے، حق لا شریک ہے
شِرکت میانۂ حق و باطل نہ کر قبول
🔍 تشریح:باطل (جھوٹ، گمراہی) ہمیشہ تقسیم، تضاد اور دھوکہ پسند کرتا ہے، جبکہ حق (سچ، توحید) اکیلا، پاک اور خالص ہوتا ہے۔ حق اور باطل کے بیچ کوئی سمجھوتا نہ کر!
The Testament of Tipu Sultan
You are a traveler of love—never accept a destination.
Even if Laila journeys with you, never accept the camel-litter.
🔍 Explanation:
O seeker of truth! You are a voyager on the path of passion and devotion. Stopping at any one destination is beneath your calling. Even if the world offers you its greatest treasures—like Laila, the symbol of ultimate love—do not settle for comfort or rest.
Message: Keep striving. Refuse to pause in your journey of purpose.
O flowing stream! Become a roaring, mighty river.
Even if the shore welcomes you—do not accept the shore.
🔍 Explanation:
You may be a gentle stream now, but you must grow into a fierce, powerful current. Do not become complacent with safety or comfort, even if offered to you.
Message: Expand your potential. Embrace challenges. Don’t fear the unknown.
Do not get lost in the idol-house of the universe.
O soul who can warm the gathering—do not accept the warmth of the gathering.
🔍 Explanation:
The world is full of distractions, deceptions, and false idols—materialism, vanity, superficial gatherings. Even if you’re capable of inspiring others, do not become consumed by temporary pleasures.
Message: Stay true to your purpose. Avoid losing your identity in worldly temptations.
At the dawn of creation, Gabriel told me this:
Never accept a heart enslaved by mere intellect.
🔍 Explanation:
Since the beginning of time, the angel Gabriel advised: Do not submit to a heart that follows only logic and reason. A heart must be guided by faith, love, and spiritual awareness—not cold calculations.
Message: Balance reason with belief. Let your heart be led by faith.
Falsehood thrives on duality; Truth stands alone.
Never accept a compromise between truth and falsehood.
🔍 Explanation:
Falsehood always seeks partners—contradictions, alliances, and confusion. But Truth is pure, unshared, and whole. Never make peace between what is right and what is wrong.
Message: Stand firm in truth. Never dilute your integrity with compromise.
