Fakir Roams Slow Poem by Sumita Jetley

In the mystical land of Rumiya's embrace,
Where stars whispered secrets in cosmic space,
There lived a sage, Alim was his name,
In the city of Zikrabad, he rose to fame.

Beneath the grand mosque's minaret so tall,
He found his calling, his life's true call.
In meditation deep and contemplation wise,
He sought the truths that in the heart lies.

With every turn of the dervish dance,
He taught of life's fleeting, ephemeral chance.
Each spin, a lesson in balance and grace,
Uniting the worldly with the sacred space.

In echoes of compassion, his words did resound,
In every action, love and kindness were found.
He spoke of unity, a tapestry of life,
Woven with threads of joy and strife.

In Zikrabad's heart, he created a place,
An oasis of peace for the human race.
Where souls could rest, and spirits could soar,
A sanctuary where hearts could explore.

With every tale, every listener's ear,
He bridged the gaps between far and near.
In the art of listening, he found the key,
To unlock the chains, to set minds free.

The dance of giving, a flow so pure,
In selfless acts, hearts found their cure.
For in giving, we receive, he often said,
In this cycle of love, we are gently led.

Alim's legacy, in love's powerful guise,
Transformed the city before their very eyes.
From chaos and noise to harmony and light,
In his teachings, they found their sight.

As time marched on, the sage grew old,
His journey's end, a story untold.
In the desert's embrace, he took his leave,
Leaving a legacy for those who believe.

In Zikrabad, his spirit remains,
In every alley, every lane.
His teachings live, in hearts they thrive,
In Alim's wisdom, they forever dive.

So, in the land of Rumiya, under the sky so vast,
Alim's story continues, through ages to last.
A tale of balance, love, and peace,
In the dance of life, where wonders never cease.
