In Arabic, we differentiate between the soul and the esoteric “ego”. The word for ego, our our human shell, is “Nafs”-what this poem is about

By: Maham Abid

In order to live forever, you must kill your “self” before you die….

When death welcomes you into its loving embrace, you will find all of this to be an elusive lie. 

After shedding your weary skin, you will finally be released from the witch’s wicked spell. 

For, “You” have always been the Universe encased inside a temporary human shell. 

Love you, always, ALL WAYS.
