i recently came upon this one...identified with it and then felt that the identification would be quite universal...
baawle se jab talak bakte the, sab karte the pyar!
aql ki baten kiyan, kya ham se na dani hui!
in fact there are quite a few which can be read out to the rationalists...
kehta hai baat woh dil, jo aql mien na aye!
ghar ka musheer kitna na daan hai hamara!
'musheer' is the advisor...this one is quite paradoxical...but the tone is certainly that of praise for the heart's advice.
and finally just to give a discursive feel to the tropes mentioned in meer
Iqbal says:
be khatar kood padha aatish e namrood mein ishq
aql hai mahv e tamasha e lab e baam abhi!
here is one for the rationalists by shuja khawar:
aankhen bata rahin hain ke daana hai daam mein
aur fikr keh rahi hai ke daane mein daam hai!
when one sees the bait in the trap one does not know that it is bait...it is only the 'fikr' or reason that tells you that the seed is not only in the trap...but that the 'seed' is the trap
