Ishq.E. Darwish (Love OF A Mystic)
Matloob Bokhari
Country: Pakistan
In the moments of quiet reflections,
The guide asked sitting darwishes: "What is the greatest humankind's blessing? "
First Darwish: "Health is the sweetest blessing."
Second Darwish: "Blessed is the one who admires but not envies."
Third Darwish: "Human kind's greatest blessing is humanity."
Fourth Darwish: "Being a part of the amazing company of
Darwishes is the greatest of all blessings."
Finally the guide, the light in the darkness
Laughed, wept, smiled and said: "You all are right
We have won His sweetest blessings with thanks and prayers
But O. lovers, life is an unfaithful bride
For a lover of God,
Death is the most beautiful gift and the greatest of all human blessings
O lovers!
Death opens the door to reach the Beloved
This world with endless stars and mountains is beautiful,
But meeting Beloved in the valley of shadow of death is more beautiful indeed!
