The scent of Jannah
He remembered
The sweet scent
On the cloak of
His grandfather.

The scent of Jannah
He remembered
The sweet scent
When he slept
In the lap of his mother.

The scent of Jannah
He remembered
The sweet scent
When he used to
Train with his father.

The scent of Jannah
He remembered
The sweet scent
When he used to hug
His brother.

The scent of Jannah
He smelled it now
As he lay on the bed of arrows
As his neck was slowly
Being cut
With a blunt knife.

He closed his eyes.
The scent of Jannah.
It was coming from the flaming sand
That was burning with grief.
It was coming from his mother's hand
That was wiping the blood
From his cheek.
It was coming from his father's tears
That fell upon his neck.
It was coming from his brother's cloak
That shaded him from the fierce sun.
It was coming from his grandfather's breath
As he whispered a prayer…

The scent of Jannah.
How sweet it was.

The poem links heaven and earth with the love that is expressed in its verses.  It is the perfection poetry.

Crushing ... in an endurable way. Inspiring ... in a silent way. May the scent of Jannah be your reward for this poem - for indeed every strike of your pen displays true love.
