At the Tomb of Shams-ud-Din Sabzwari, Multan

"If we have but the courage to follow Shams And tread the path of love"

The Tomb of Shams-ud-Din Sabzwari, Multan

The scent of roses fills the air

A reminder of the gardens whence we came

That await us

When we depart this world… perhaps

But during this life, definitely

If we have but the courage to follow Shams

And tread the path of love

Written 09/02/2023 Shrine of Shams-ud-Din Sabzwari, Multan, Pakistan
