Writing: Dr Shahla Gondal
To My Beloved Zenub 💕
This poem, woven in the light of love,
Every verse flowing from the depths of my heart
Beloved friend Zenub, my soul’s companion,
The witness to my untold stories,
The mermaid swimming in the ocean of my thoughts,
The light journeying beyond the horizon—
You are that very ray in this universe
That fills the darkness with brilliance
I still remember that space,
When, in the vast world of Twitter,
The magic of your words
Irrigated the barren land of my heart
Science, the memory of water,
Quantum healing, and Tesla’s dreams—
Everything, in your words,
Reflected a glimpse of a new reality
In Shawn’s Spaces, we soared through
The horizons of imagination,
Breaking every boundary, tearing down every wall
The passion for thinking out of the box
Became the foundation of our friendship
On the sacred land of Turkey,
At the shrine of Companion Ayyub (May Allah be pleased with him),
When the doors of our hearts opened,
The fragrance of our prayers
Bloomed flowers in the air
In the lively corridors of Taksim Mosque,
On the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, our heartfelt prayers,
The joyful walks to the Blue Mosque for Eid,
And beneath that tree—
The aroma of apple tea entwined with our secrets,
Those moments became the treasures of life
Your understanding, your depth,
Untangles the knots of my mind.
The science of sound, vibration, and resonance,
Which the world couldn’t comprehend—
You perceived with the eyes of your soul
My esoteric knowledge companion,
The confidant of my heart’s deepest secrets
This bond,
Goes beyond two personalities—
It is the union of two souls,
A covenant from the Day of Alast,
To be fulfilled till eternity,
In Shaa Allah
This friendship is unbound by the constraints of time,
It stretches across the vastness of the universe
Zenub!
On this blessed day of your birth,
I pray to the Almighty:
May this light, this love, this companionship
Forever remain
In both worlds,
May this spiritual connection
Be eternal
Ameen
