_"Somehow, I think that it took patience, transformation as a person, to even come to the moment where, as he spoke that one word, my world shifted. Because I had to be that person in that moment to feel those feelings about that one word. And so, now I believe, or like to believe, that what I want to eventually happen, Godwilling, will only happen if I wait, if I have patience, and ‘work on myself’ basically."_
I am amazed by how neatly you put such a thing in writing. To me it is a very complex concept..
Your English rendition of the song by Umm Kulthum felt similar to my translations of Urdu poetry. What a delight to find a kindred spirit floating in the Substack ocean! Farrukh Iqbal.
I would love to take credit for such a beautiful translation but unfortunately it was only one I liked the most in the various ones I found online, but I do adore your translation! 🩷
Neila I think I needed this now maybe not in the way that you wrote about it but in some way. So well worded and may Allah make that dream come true. I once was listening to a lecture about surah Yusuf that talked about how it starts and ends with a dream and that dream was supposed to offer comfort to Yusuf AS during his hardest times so he knows that he must be patient and that the end will be good. i like to think that sometimes the dreams I have are the ease during whatever test I'm going through.
