On The Stretched Forefinger Of Time
Amid laughter, learnings of friends and family, gentleness
In hearts at peace, under an Indian heaven
The night wind cries with echoes of despair
Yet we walk on the soil with our feet made of air
The stars broidered upon the rain
The rain rustling with the stars
And if there was a single wish that does fulfill
Take the best of what I have in this world too
I’d ask that from Allah, that which I will
Would only be - The gift of you
Though life’s objective port is passed and neared
It’s noblest currents still run
Into souls of humans straightened and steered
To the Isles of an inward Sun
With jewels ten thousand poems long
That on the stretched forefinger of all time
Sparkle forever
- Hafez
It’s from الله
