Insightful – Zakir Abu Jafar

Say everything with a smile and joy,
Not with arrogance or harsh words,
Say everything with sweetness and joy.
Let the flow of words be like a shady vine,
like a bewitching vine! Let it be filled with the compassion of love.
Listen to how the rains speak! What a rhythm,
A pure stream, what a soul-lifting inspiration it pours,
Even if it falls on the back of a tin roof or on the window sill, it seems to fall inside the heart! See how the birds pour the fragrance of the heart in their sweet voices!
Haven’t you heard the sound of joy from the face of the moon!
The language of protest from the intensity of the storm!
The sound of courage from the heat of the raging waves
Or the exalted speech of the king from politics!
When night speaks to night, star to star, dew to dew, and when silence speaks to silence, what a captivating, penetrating, abundant story of life with life
Just as shadow speaks to shadow,
sun to sun, river to river, ocean to ocean
Then think of the sweet fire of language
What a flowing stream of language!
Why don’t I listen to your heart like this! ?
