Qasidat al-Burda aur rizq-e-miskeen

Our bodies turn everything we learn into Love- below a certain age
Above it, hearts explode in uncomprehending rage
Unless, living becomes about capitalising as Wealth
All Knowledge culled practising Death

Envoi

Prince! We made thy world in six days and thought it good
But all Paradise is to die paying for takeout food
