"The poison-drinking lovers, lured
by poison sweet, drink more and more;
To bitterness of fatal cup,
the poison-drinkers are inured,
Though wounds are festering, and uncured,
no whispers to the vulgar goes."
Poison... it takes your death.. and if seen from a different angle, it helps you to enter in a new world.
Notice that Bhitai is referring to those people who are "attracted" to the sweet poison and are in love with it as this poison gives them strength. It makes them tougher.
One more thing is interesting here. "The poison drinkers are inured" says that this poison makes them "stronger" and on the other side, it also makes their wounds "fester". So physically (festering wounds can be seen by everyone), it is working as the normal poison works, but spiritually (may be), it has a positive impact.
If we read the next stanza "There's no bitter", we can get an idea about the source of this poison, i.e all from Beloved's side is sweet.
Sadly, i couldn't understand the last line. :( "no whispers to the vulgar goes".
Anyone?
Your blog is so... dizzying ! Too much jumps out at once. Anyhow the translated verses by sufi poets seem interesting. Will discover them in detail after my exam.
Thanks for the sincere feedback about my blog :) You are actually the first one who found it... dizzying
You use google chrome as the browser?
I am actually very nitpicking in terms of layout of my blog. I'd be glad to know about these "jumps-at-once" :s
Anyways, point noted!
Keep coming
Nopes I use Firefox.
What i mean by dizzying is that everything from top to bottom is 'click-able' The title , the tabs underneath , the slideshow of posts , the ten built-in links at the bottom of each post _ all hyper-linked! Its too dynamic as compared to usual wall-solid blogs with simple layout. But as master Shifu of Kung-fu Panda would say : I found inner peace when I realized the fault resides in me , and not in you _ the dizzying may be more due to my first visit to such a jumping-jack type blog and less due to your layout So *cheers* :)
And something about 'honest' feedback. Bloggers are way-too-polite while leaving comments . Its understandable. but that kills the suspense and spice of receiving feed-back. the more sugary the feed-back , the more impractical it is :p
Tigress of Kung.Fu.Panda is a nice character as well... 'cheers' :D
I believe more in the Panda. Do what "you" want, give feedback the way "you" like it, don't care about how sugary or bitter it'll be.
"Bloggers are way-too-polite while leaving comments . Its understandable"
"the more sugary the feed-back , the more impractical it is"
- revisit the thoughts/philosophies.
p.s. I'd love to start a blog on movies someday (a marketing blog as well) :D
Mine ain't synchronized as well
It shows "0 Comments and 0 Reactions" on my blog as well, at:
1- Under the strip of Post Author : rIZ
2- Below every post on blog home (http://rumiiqbalandme.blogspot.com/)
I emailed disqus about the issue as well, they said you'll have to tweak your template, which is a nightmare, or I must say the ingredients to prepare a nightmare.
But yes, I've "two" workarounds to show the no of comments, without depending on the disqus alone.
1- [Specifically for individual posts] Sidebar has "recent posts widget" - shows exact no. of comments
2- [Specifically for homepage] Template has built-in feature of showing useful info under the blog post title, like:

i dont know if i had read the whole blog or not....but the layout is very confusing may be because of the lack of knowledge that i have for this high-tech blog but it is very well written and this poetry has attracted me a lot
Hmmm... Thank you so much your sincere feedback Tbibkhot :)
I'm now really worried about the layout as this is the second time a reader is saying it's confusing :s
Can you please elaborate the word 'confusing' for me?
i don,t know it id just confusing i don't know where to go and what to find but i think now i am developing an understanding of it
