Famous Abdul-Qādir Bedil Quotes

“In this sea where rise up storms of 'me' and 'we',
some of the population find escaping not so easy.
No one's should be burdened by carrying another,
every wave is a bridge, to be crossing over...'me.'”

with a hundred thousand suns each atom caressing,
despite its great glory was behind the unseen's veil...
it did not know itself until humanity was blossoming.”

so don't fail in reaping benefit through me,
This collection of our thought is open to all:
