Mujeeb Jaihoon’s response to those who enquire about what gifts has the poet brought from the land of Meem.
Gifts and presents
Entice lovers:
“What have you brought us
From the land of the Meem-sojourn?”
Replied I:
“I have neither antiques
Nor any souvenirs.
Rather, with me is a bag of gems—
Seen by neither Jinn nor Ins.
More invaluable than any gifts,
Inimitable are they in looks.”
April 27 2022. Ramadan 26 1443.
Love has only one adamant clause: loyalty to the ultimate Beloved, even if it requires the betrayal of human intellect,
Masking their soul-shine behind ordinary forms, God’s lovers wait for the dust to settle to rejoice alone—writes Mujeeb Jaihoon
True faith demands sacrificing intellectual pride and forfeiting logic.
By weighing the count of forgetting against remembering, this poem proves that math always fails once the self dissolves in

SubhanAllah!! The sojourn by itself is a gift, a marvel, which is unparalleled. The last two lines are so profound, “Invaluable than any gifts, Inimitable are they in looks”.
