Posion & Nectar of Desire

Translation: Gabriel remains unaware of the sacred location of the divine quest, where humanity can engage in direct communion with Allah. He is blind to the profound “Outcry and Grief” that individuals experience along this spiritual path, as they grapple with inner conflicts and strive for spiritual enlightenment.

The poet, in a fervent plea to the Almighty, implores for insight into the mysteries of this seemingly unremarkable person. This individual possesses a unique wisdom, understanding both the detrimental and enriching aspects of human desire, much like distinguishing between poison and nectar.
