Fakir: Layla Poem by Sumita Jetley

In the heart of Delhi, where ancient meets new,
A Sufi woman walks, in morning's fresh dew.
Clad in a saree, both graceful and bold,
Her story in the city streets, silently told.

With steps firm and steady on the bustling street,
Her saree, a fusion where tradition and modernity meet.
Eyes open wide, embracing the day,
Her spirit, a beacon, shining bright as a ray.

Through lanes alive with history's whisper,
Her presence, like a gentle, calming elixir.
The fabric flows, in colors bright and serene,
Capturing her essence, visibly seen.

Amidst the chaos, her calm is a wonder,
Walking confidently, yet she stops to ponder.
In every thread, stories of the past intertwine,
Her saree, a symbol of a legacy divine.

Her steps, a dance through time and space,
Each movement, a symbol of elegance and grace.
In Delhi's heart, where dreams are sewn,
The Sufi woman walks, her inner light shown.

A blend of worlds, in her attire so grand,
A bridge between times, in this ancient land.
The city's pulse in harmony with her own,
In her saree clad form, Delhi's spirit is shown.
