Seekers who dispassionately leave the shrine of the Beloved, abandon their heartbeat behind. Mujeeb Jaihoon’s tribute to those halfhearted pilgrims.

The heart returned:
Its Beat abandoned

The nightingale flew:
Its Rose remained distant

The garden plundered:
Its River separated afar

The book closed:
Its Letters faded

The cup broke:
Its Wine spilled

The Shell cried:
Its Pearl robbed

The Eyes wept:
Light snatched

The Journey concluded:
Behold! Destination lay behind
