majazi — the path — haqiqi
راہِ عشق
Rah-e-Ishq
A path through Ishq — read aloud from Rumi, Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah, and Ghalib. Not an answer to what love is. A road through what it has been called.
Begin the PathMajazi
مجازی — love between two people. Longing, union, the ache of separation. The human road.
Haqiqi
حقیقی — love that dissolves the self into the divine. Where the human road is said to lead.
