Fakir's Due Diligence Poem by Sumita Jetley

In a city's heart, where life's fast-paced,
Lived Idris, a Sufi, in modernity embraced.
Not in robes, but simple attire he was dressed,
A serene wanderer, in urban jungles at rest.

With a light scarf and a gentle smile wide,
He walked the streets with a calm stride.
A short beard, eyes often in thoughtful gaze,
He was a mystic, unswayed by the worldly maze.

"Leave to God, " he'd say, "worldly pursuits and fears,
For in His will, peace surpasses worldly cheers."
With wisdom simple, profound, and bright,
He guided hearts from darkness to light.

He found joy in small, unnoticed things,
In nature's dance and the joy it brings.
Not for riches or fame did his heart pine,
But for contentment in the divine.

A beacon of peace in a world of chase,
Where material desires often erase
The beauty of simplicity, the depth of being,
Idris, the Sufi, a different world seeing.

Asked once, "How do you with so little live? "
He smiled, "In my heart, God has much to give.
When within you find everything you seek,
The pursuit of outside grows faint and weak."

A modern Sufi in a changing tide,
In faith and contentment, he did abide.
A poetic soul in the city's fast rhythm,
Idris, the serene, with a wisdom from within.
