Dearest brother
Sohail:
I have yet to get around to completing your thoughtful
questionnaire...being
marred by simple existential concerns as I am leaving for Pakistan on the
May Day to spend sometime with my aging older brother. I have been
thinking about you and about your use of the term "dervish"...the
term that
remained a source of my inspiration...more later but here is a short
copulet by Josh Malihabadi:
Insan yaqeen, allah-a guman
Aa mere hath pey beyat pardh
pardh kalima La-illa illa Insaan
Rough translation:
Us real, god an illusion
Come hither and affirm
"there is no god but human"!
I have been reading your stuff and I feel kinship with you. Have a good
evening.
Love,
zahid
