A LOST (POEM)
PRESENTED BY: MISS KINZA ASHRAF
A LOST
‫درویش‬
Stanza 01:
OH ALLAH!
NO MORE WORLD WORRIE
BREAK AD BOTHER ME
LIKE A FLOWING WATER
GOES ON AND ON
In the first paragraph, the poetess wants to say she is fed-up from the world, she wants no more world
worries does not want to think about the world anymore. It’s a sign that she is looking for something
deeper within herself, or with the outside world, as in the present, nothing within or without really
satisfies her. The feeling is sometimes painful, or sometimes bothers her, and it may affect your quality
of life. She prays over her circumstances right now. She prays to God to give her peace about what she
can’t change and the wisdom to change the things she can. She is asking Allah to reach into her life and
do His will. Guide her and give her he discernment to hear Allah’s voice. To  flow like water is to be
flexible, nimble, and agile in approaching circumstances and possibilities that arise each and every day of
our lives.

Stanza 02:
OH ALLAH!
I, A WILD WANDERER
ROAMING IN A JUNGLE
WITH A LIGHT
YOU LIT IN MY SOUL
In the subsequent passage, she alludes to herself as a vagabond since her life is presently random. Also,
the world resembles a wilderness or her where she doesn't have a place. She has a light lit in her spirit
by God and she is requesting that Allah give her tranquility. Also, the world is like a wasteland for her
where she doesn't have a place. She has a light made lighted in her form of a bodiless being by God and
she is requesting that the highest being for Mohammed supporters give her quietness. Our lives form of
lighting one light here, one light there. All these lights together make up the high purpose image of the
person, as though man were merely a 2, or support, for the 613 lights. Man’s act to be done is to make
light. Like a higher-being light puts light on the World through the flame of the mitzvah while living on
earth enables the seat of feeling to undergo growth and go through a process of a stage of full
development. We can now see why mitzvah and seat of feeling are being taken to be equal to Just as
the oil of the mitzvah is greatly changed into light, so man’s seat of feeling becomes the light of Father
of all.
Stanza 03
LEAVING THJE WORLD WORRIES
BEHND
I, A WHIRLING WANDERER
RECEIVEING LOVEPEACE AND SPIRTUAL PATH
FROM YOU
GOES ON AND ON
The poetess is living in this world but her soul is now connected with the divine power and she is feeling
like a free soul that does not need anything of this world or from this world. She is feeling the blessings
of God in the form of peace inside her and she is feeling this blessing constantly from God.

Stanza 04
OH ALLAH!

MY SOUL GET AN ESCAPE FROM BODY

AND;

NO MORE DEADLY DESIRES

LEFT IN ME

She is living in this world where she found no kind of hope but left all her desires, related to this world.
She is praying to God to free her soul from her body because she has no more desires which will not
come true. She whispers, OH GOD, I do not want to live anymore. She feels broken, she feel alone, she
feel empty inside, she is in pain and numb at the same time. She constantly lies about how she feels. She
must keep up appearances. She smiles and laughs when she must. She has to maintain relationships, or
else the loneliness will only get worse. And accepting to God that she has no desires anymore
Stanza 05
AS A THRIST OF THIS WORLD
NEVER HALT ME
IF STILL THE CHAOTIC WORLD
GOES ON AND ON
In the last paragraph of the poem she is saying that this world is very attractive for a human but it could
never stop me if I only focus on this attraction which causes the unrest inside me. The world has moved
too far in the other direction of the unexamined and unarticulated life. After, all these feelings, she
found the right path which is the path of divine light which showed me the right path that is the path of
life after leaving this world. Her life has no meaning. Each of her has meaning and her bring it to life. It is
a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
