Wanderer in love

Dilam dar aashiqui aawareh shud aawareh tar baada, 

Tanam az bedilee beechareh shud beechareh tar baada.

My heart is a wanderer in love, may it ever remain so. 
My life’s been rendered miserable in love, 
may it grow more and more miserable.


- Amir Khusrau (Persian / Indian Poet)

When it comes to loving it's always 'all or nothing' - like there ever was any other way :P

I dont know if this is beautiful or tragic...

think the poet means the heart is very deep in love and it's painful, but as painful as love is, the poet enjoys the misery of knowing that true love really hurts sometimes , hence it is better to have love and lost then never to have love at all.

Shabz... I agree somethings are about, taking the leap of faith, and facing the risks!

Azra... Love is only tragic - when you havn't given your best , if you have the regrets will be minimal :)

Anonymous... agreed but there is a difference between loving and losing and loving and not trying everything possible to make it work.

(A) thanx for your visit

Crimson, it's from a 'fan' site on the author - google him :)

This gave me goosebumps.
Like Gibran quoted "For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning"
After all that is what fanaah means destructed in love :)
