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.
