Human weaknesses are no excuse to shy away from spiritual struggle. Hope will bring the lover’s aspiration to fruition alludes Mujeeb Jaihoon
A heart gone blind with His Beloved
I answered your every plea
From every evil I set you free
I caged compassion amid your ribs
My remembrance danced on your lips
Countless favors on you I bestowed
Although very little had you bowed
Tell me, O my slave
What for Me you have?
Why Unlettered?
How is it possible that the Dear one of the Lord, who is the most perfect being after the Lord himself, is addressed as Unlettered?
