Firdousia! Poem by Shahzia Batool
Firdousia!
The Garden-croft of Paradise
As the tender name suggests
There buried deep are many dreams
That once would adorn many eyes
Some dear ones here have made their beds
Their beings lie there in eternal rest
With well-kept gardens, lush-green grass
Where none can pluck the fine flowers
The pavements made of nice bricks
Nature’s beauty is scattered around
Blue sky canvas, rain-filled clouds
Incense fragrance everywhere is felt
Soothing scenes are always seen
Of earthly beds strewn with buds
Marigold, roses, seasonal blossoms.
A square structure built in center
Prayer-mats laid for sacred prayers
Its walls are made of marble tiles
The floors are done in same style
Special place for pure and brave
Here lie martyrs in their graves
It has a mosque and swings for kids
A spacious cage for feeding the birds
Two graves there have my joys keep
In which my parents peacefully sleep
All those who are lying there
May God rest their souls in peace!
(amen)
May their Souls rest in peace...We can only pray that. Touching lines. Two graves there have my joys keep In which my parents peacefully sleep All those who are lying there May God rest their souls in peace! Lovely poem Shahzia...
May God rest their souls in peace. A visit brings memories of best of times with them. Truth of life is those who live must live and they wished so.
Wow a sweet heavenly peaceful poem on a heavenly cemetry. May yor parents rest in peace and may we all go to the real firdaus. Kudos. Tanzania ke qabrastan me to roz chai tikya ya samosa khaten hayn hamare shia, ronaq rehti hay.
A delightful garden where peace does exist. so many souls are taking eternal rest waiting for eternal abode. A beautiful write.
Have been there.Also visited officially the living graveyard- Kot Lakhpat.No lakhpatis seem to live there.Victims of feudalism.Though the foods were good in Lahore.Women cover their faces with hijabs and naqabs have seen.When you want to speak Punjabi they run away or tend to be in hurry and when in Arabic- they either do not understand or want that you speak Punjabi/Urdu.Amidst graveyards I feel for the women whose freedom of speech and womanhood are in graves whose name are also Firdausis.They live in austerity.No marigold, roses, seasonal blossoms for them.Great penning yours.
ameen.. may Allah rest dere souls in peace.. description of ds graveyard is presented in a very beautiful way.. great!
