POETRY
Descent to the
World
—POEM by Syed Abdul
Waheed Fani
(Translated from Urdu)
From Lahoot to Nasoot
(From Divine to Mortal),
From the Throne to the Earth,
From the Light to the Dust,
I descended,
Clothed
in water and clay.
When I was born,
My soul,
Through a frail and delicate bud-like
body,
Screamed, wept, and wailed,
Crying out—
“O’ Master of all existence!
O’ Bestower of the most exclusive gift
— death!
Take me back,
To that point of absolution,
Where being nothing,
Was
everything.”
