With so many obstacles, so many emotions
All the joie de vivre, all the miseries
The trials and the tribulations
The triumphs, and the losses
All remain, etched, forever.
Now, where can I go
Than to sit in the corner of our little abode
Looking at the doorway
Through which he came back, once for the last time
Wrapped in a white sheet
His face was white too, bloodless.
I don’t have to shut the door anymore
No, I have nothing to fear anymore
As Mansoor has the whole of the sky to himself now.
Note: In Islam, especially Sufism, rūḥ (Arabic:
; plural arwah) is a
person's immortal, essential self, i.e. the "spirit" or "soul" (“atma” in
Hinduism). Although the Quran doesn’t describe rūḥ as the immortal self,
the writer has used this to mean the holy spirit, which the Quran refers to
as Ruh al-qudus. Source:
