1) In fields of gold where sunbeams dance and sway, Amidst the fragrant blooms of nature's hold, I find a solace in the light of day, And treasure moments free from life's stronghold. For when my heart is light, my soul is free, And all around me seems to come alive, I feel a joy that's pure and yet to be, A precious gift that keeps my dreams alive. Oh, how I long to linger in this place, Where peace and beauty blend in perfect grace, And time itself is but a fleeting trace. But soon enough, the day will bid adieu, And with it, too, this moment that I knew, And yet, it lives forever in my view. 2) Lā ilāha illallāh is the creed we uphold No deity but Allah, this truth is our stronghold The One True God, who none can ever equate All praise and worship to Him, we dedicate He has no partners, no similitude or kin Eternal, Absolute, Sovereign, without a begin The Creator, Sustainer, and Master of all To His mercy, we turn, whenever we call In Him, we seek refuge, from Satan's deceit Through His guidance, we find peace, and relief Lā ilāha illallāh, the foundation of our faith The key to Paradise, and the path to His grace 3) First, to the Arabic letters, we must attend They have three forms: Isolated, Joined, and End The Isolated ones stand alone, free from the rest The Joined ones connect, for better or for the best The End letters come at the end of a word, it's true Like alif, lam, and ha, they are a common view Next, to the Nouns, their case and gender we must know They can be Marfū, Mansūb, or Majrūr, it will show For Masculine and Feminine, the gender rules apply Masculine is the default, unless otherwise nigh To form the Plural, there are various ways to do By adding a suffix or a prefix, or changing a vowel too The Verbs have Tense, Voice, Mood, and Agreement They can be Perfect or Imperfect, Active or Passive, it's evident The Mood can be Indicative, Imperative, or Subjunctive And the Agreement must match the Subject, it's not subjective These are the basics of Arabic Grammar, my friend But to master it fully, much more you must comprehend Alfiyya of Irāqī, a gem of knowledge and insight May it guide you on your journey, with wisdom and delight. 4) Sharh al-Aqā'id, a text of Islamic creed, Is filled with wisdom, to our hearts to feed.

السلام علیکم For those who don't know, Chat GPT can translate from urdu (literally and poetically depending on how you instruct it) I have tried it on a few ash'aar and received quite good results (bit of refining may be required at times), give it a try InshaAllah! لازم نہیں ہے کوئی ایسے ہی رنج میں ہو جاں پر بنی ہو یا پھر ویسے ہی رنج میں ہو اُنکا غلام چاہے جیسے ہی رنج میں ہو انکے نثار کوئی کیسے ہی رنج میں ہو جب یاد آگئے ہیں سب غم بھلادیئے ہیں It's not necessary to suffer such pain and strife, Whether in body or in the depths of life, Even if one is a slave to him in agony's clutch, Sacrificing all, his remembrance can heal so much, With his memory, sorrows fade and dissipate, as such. پیشِ نظر وہ نو بہار سجدے کو دل ہے بے قرار روکیے سر کو روکیے ہاں یہی امتحان ہے Amidst the new spring of devotion, my heart's in a bind, To prostrate in worship, I long and unwind. Hold your head steadfast, don't let it slip, This is a test, rise to the challenge, don't skip. دل نکل جانے کی جا ہے آہ کن آنکھوں سے وہ ہم سے پیاسوں کے لئے دریا بہاتے جائیں گے My heart will leave my chest, alas, when I see From his eyes will flow rivers, for us thirsty sinners to be Interceding for mercy, he'll beg and implore Until our thirst is quenched, our souls restored. I also ran unke andaz e karam and the translation generated is quite beautiful: ان کے انداز کرم ان پہ وہ آنا دل کا ہائے وہ وقت وہ باتیں وہ زمانہ دل کا نہ سنا اس نے توجہ سے فسانا دل کا زندگی گزری مگر درد نہ جانا دل کا دل لگی دل کی لگی بن کے مٹا دیتی ہے روگ دشمن کو بھی یا رب نہ لگانا دل کا وہ بھی اپنے نہ ہوئے دل بھی گیا ہاتھوں سے ایسے آنے سے تو بہتر تھا نہ آنا دل کا نقش بر آب نہیں وہم نہیں خواب نہیں آپ کیوں کھیل سمجھتے ہیں مٹانا دل کا ان کی محفل میں نصیرؔ ان کے تبسم کی قسم دیکھتے رہ گئے ہم ہاتھ سے جانا دل کا Their gracious ways, my heart doth yearn for, with longing deep, Those times, those talks, that era old, my heart's secrets keep. Unheeding, should they be, to the tale my heart would tell, Life may come and go, but the pain it bears, they will not quell. Heart to heart, in union, they merge and fade away, Such malady, even for foes, is too cruel to display. My heart slipped from my grasp, and ne'er did they become mine, Better had it been if they ne'er came, than for my heart to pine. Not a mere reflection on water, illusion, nor a dream, Erasing its marks, why do you view, my heart's hurt as a scheme? In their gathering, Nasir, their smiles bear witness true, We watched in awe, but left with empty hands, my heart, oh you!
