HARMUKH MOUNTAIN

HARMUKH MOUNTAIN AND NUNDKOUL LAKE — 

Kashmir 's tallest Sufi poet Shams faqir says
"Shams faqir chhuyya par tseunn ye,
Chhuss naa Doggun Pattah Bronh Kaanh,
Yee sar Goam Tee me Vonuye ,
Harmokh su noan ye Draav "

Shams faqir is cut of from this world,
He has none as his companion.
None ahead of him and none behind ,
So Whatever he feels he conveys ,
" The lord is clearly visible at Harmukh Peak "
Zaan'e w'ale kar zaanee yaar, Harmukh Vi'chu Deedar
Pard'e Zaal Aaz dard-e-naar, Harmukh Vi'chu Deedar
"Seeker of Truth Know the Truth, Turn to Harmukh and See
Burn the veil, today, on pain of fire, Turn to Harmukh and See"
Again this great sufi saint adds :-
Meer e sultaan hoshiar ,
Zeer o Bumm Mashrovnumm.
Tee Guvv Kaar az Kaar
harmokh Vuchhu Deedaar .
Peer e sultaan Asraar
Seer e Haq Taem Bhovnumm,
Hovnumm Noor e Anwaar ,
Harmokh Vuchhu Deedaar.
