Dust Turned them into Dust




Arch of light upon the forehead
With ruby like lips and bright face
Dust turned them into dust
How many went under the dust
(Qalander Baba Auliya ؒ) 

Explanation:



People with bright foreheads; illuminating with the signs of prostrations and hey had all the worldly beauty radiating from their faces, when they died and they were buried, the earth turned their remains into dust. We cannot reckon the number of people of such beauty and charms. Men walking on the surface of the earth, with might and pride, finally go down into the dust and the dust turns them all into dust. And, that might be the same dust which many others would be raising by their feet.
