Fakir's Dhikr Poem by Sumita Jetley

In gardens where jasmine whispers at night,
A mystic sits under the star's soft light.
His heart a compass, seeking truth so bright,
In Sufism's path, his soul takes flight.

Through stations of the soul, he wanders free,
In Tawbah's arms, he embraces mercy.
In Wara's gaze, his actions pure and key,
And in Zuhd, finds worldly detachments flee.

In Faqr's embrace, rich in spirit, not gold,
He learns that true wealth in the heart is hold.
And in Ma'rifah's light, mysteries unfold,
A journey of enlightenment, ages old.

In this tale of a mystic, so divinely penned,
Find the whispers of your soul, let them mend.
For in Ilyas's path, messages transcend,
In each step, a lesson, a spiritual friend.
