Fard-e-amal siyaah kiye jaa raha hoon main,
Rahmat ko bepanaah kiye jaa raha hoon main.
[By Jigar Moradabadi]
Blackening life's canvas of deeds to the extreme,
It is I who expand divine compassion to the limitless.
[Interpretive translation by Siyaah]
Jigar is one of my favorites. Some more on him with translations soon...

smriti:
I am spellbound by these lines as well...can't seem to get them out of my mind.
Sometimes such couplets form a prism through which one continues to see the world for days and days...
