The God would look up at you when you walk along the road, and ask you, " Tell me, what is it that I can give you, tell me what is it that I can do for you"



God may be better than the best in some ways..
But some men really rise up to certain levels where one can make us feel that he is great by himself.. even without comparing him with god..
I am not familiar with Urdu poetry but I watched someone quote from Urdu poety.
(I can give only a rough translation. I could not capture the origal lyric).
"Live your life is such a lofty way
that if by some chance you meet God
who is capable of giving you anything,
The God would look up at you when you walk along the road, and ask you,
" Tell me, what is it that I can give you, tell me what is it that I can do for you"
Maybe it is only poetic imagination and poetic licence
but I felt something really great when I heard it..

Khudi ko kar buland itna ki har taqdir se pehle
Khuda bande se poonche bata teri raza kya hai
Allama Iqbal
खुदी को कर बुलन्द इतना कि हर तकदीर से पहले
खुदा बंदे से खुद पूछे बता तेरी रजा क्या है
(रजा = इच्छा, तमन्ना, ख्वाहिश)
अलामा इक़बाल
