The sanctuary

PreviousNext

Nizamuddin’s shrine and the dergah complex is a source of comfort. Each time I have been there, I have felt uncanny sense of comfort and solace. Found this terrific image here –

    How lovely. Gorgeous architecture, and a wonder to note that Amir Khusro’s shrine is there also. Perhaps part explanation of that sense of comfort and solace…

    Abr mi barad-o man shovm-e az yar-e judaa
    Choon kunam dil becheneen roz zedildar judaa.
    Abr baraan wa man-o yar satadah ba-widaa’
    Man judaa girya kunaan, abr judaa, yaar judaa

    The cloud weeps, and I become separated from my friend –
    How can I separate my heart from my heart’s friend on such a day.
    The cloud weeping – and I and the friend standing, bidding farewell –
    I weeping separately, the clouds separately, the friend separately…..
