The stranger
The stranger is not the one who empties the house and bids farewell now
But the stranger is he who is serious while the people around him play
And is awake while the people around him sleep
And follows the best path the 'narrow mountain pass' while the people
around him plot and plan in their misguidance
Truthful was the poet when he said:
My friend said to me, I see you as a stranger
Amongst these people without a close friend
I said nay! But the people are strange, I'm in the world and this is
my way
This is the stranger
Strange in the view of those who jest and mock from amongst mankind
But in the Sight of his Lord, he is at a Noble Station
by unknown
