Book excerpt: (Ruh) Dear Soul, Do not despair as you enter the city of catastrophe. A Sufi is grateful for his blessings, and steadfast in his trials. “Zikr” is a collection of long and short verses. It is a poetic invocation of the beloved, the central muse. The muse, in the poet’s perspective, is the human experience. It exists, therefore, as much in the dew of rain as in a lover’s gaze. Every verse tells its own story, a deep love of life, longing and melancholia. It draws indomitable inspiration from the human condition.
