Understanding the Essence of Sufi and Sant Poetry

Sufi and Sant poetry are two deeply spiritual and philosophical traditions that have enriched the cultural and literary heritage of South Asia and beyond. Sufi poetry, often associated with mysticism and the quest for divine love, is known for its profound depth and emotional resonance. Sant Vani, on the other hand, comprises the devotional songs of the Sant tradition, emphasizing ethical living, devotion to God, and social equality.

These poetic forms have not only provided spiritual solace to millions but have also acted as a medium for social reform, challenging rigid societal norms and advocating for a more inclusive and compassionate worldview.

Famous Sufi Poets and Their Contributions

Bulleh Shah Bulleh Shah is one of the most celebrated Sufi poets whose verses transcend the boundaries of time and culture. His poetry, written in Punjabi, is a testament to his profound spiritual journey and his quest for unity with the Divine. Bulleh Shah’s works, such as "Bulleya Ki Jaana Main Kaun," are timeless classics that continue to inspire and resonate with readers around the world.

Rumi Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, more commonly known as Rumi, is perhaps the most famous Sufi poet in the world. His works, written in Persian, have been translated into numerous languages and are widely read across the globe. Rumi’s poetry, encapsulated in his magnum opus "Masnavi," explores themes of divine love, the soul’s journey towards God, and the nature of existence.

Amir Khusro Amir Khusro, a prolific Persian poet and a disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya, made significant contributions to Sufi literature and music. He is often credited with the invention of several musical instruments and the development of new genres of poetry. His ghazals and qawwalis are integral to the Sufi musical tradition and continue to be performed with great reverence.

Prominent Themes in Sant Vani

Sant Vani, the poetic expressions of the Bhakti saints, often revolve around themes of love, devotion, and social justice. The Bhakti movement, which gave rise to Sant Vani, sought to transcend the barriers of caste and creed, promoting a direct and personal relationship with the Divine.

Love and Devotion The Bhakti saints, such as Kabir and Guru Nanak, emphasized the importance of love and devotion in their teachings. Kabir’s dohas (couplets) are renowned for their simplicity and profound wisdom, urging individuals to seek the Divine within themselves and to practice love and compassion in their daily lives.

Humanity and Social Equality The Bhakti poets often used their verses to challenge societal norms and advocate for social justice. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, composed hymns that spoke against the caste system and gender discrimination, promoting the ideals of equality and universal brotherhood.

Famous Qawwals and Their Contributions

Qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music, has a rich history and a profound impact on South Asian culture. This genre, characterized by its repetitive and hypnotic melodies, is designed to induce a state of spiritual ecstasy and divine connection.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is often hailed as the greatest qawwal of all time. His powerful voice and emotive renditions of Sufi poetry have captivated audiences worldwide. His contributions to qawwali music have not only preserved this ancient tradition but also brought it to the global stage, influencing musicians across various genres.

Sabri Brothers The Sabri Brothers, a legendary qawwali group from Pakistan, are known for their dynamic performances and soulful renditions of Sufi poetry. Their qawwalis, such as "Bhar Do Jholi Meri" and "Tajdar-e-Haram," are celebrated for their spiritual fervor and emotional depth.

Abida Parveen Abida Parveen, one of the most iconic female Sufi singers, has made significant contributions to the world of Sufi music. Her powerful and evocative voice has brought the poetry of Sufi saints to life, making her one of the most revered figures in the genre.

DAMASCUS —  Corpse No. 11 was relatively pristine, with few signs of abuse save for a rictus of pained surprise. No. 26 was in worse condition, the decomposition further along but still not enough to obscure the scarlet bruising on the shriveling skin of his forehead. The face of No. 18 was also bruised but surprisingly intact otherwise; the mouth was open, as if he were in midsentence.Pacing the pastel-green basement morgue of Damascus’ Mujtahed Hospital was Sabri Riyabi, a 32-year-old man from the suburb of Jobar, looking among the unidentified dead for Mohammad, the brother he last saw in 2011.He lifted the collar of his sweatshirt to cover his nose, then lingered over each of the six corpses with his phone flashlight. The morgue of Damascus’ Mujtahed Hospital. (Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) None were Mohammad.He asked a staff member if those were all the bodies in the hospital that day.“Don’t bother going to the other room — everyone there has been claimed,” said the attendant. Riyabi sighed.“It’s my second day searching. I’ve gone to all the hospitals here in Damascus. So far nothing,” he said. “My parents don’t dare to come. They don’t want to go through this.”Wars are often reduced to statistics: of people killed or wounded, of areas destroyed, of the cost to rebuild. Yet perhaps the most lingering expression of the tragedy in Syria’s 13-year civil war is in the missing, and the anguished search for the estimated 150,000 people who disappeared in the conflict — most of them at the hands of the security services of former Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government.As the rebels blitzed through major cities last week amid a wholesale collapse of the Syrian army, they threw open prison doors, spurring scenes of elation as thousands of detainees gained their freedom.But for the families of the missing, it’s been a different story. In the five days since Damascus’ fall, people from all over Syria have converged on the capital, scouring hospital morgues and the facilities of a prison system notorious for its cruelty.One of its victims was Riyabi’s brother, an army soldier accused of collaborating with the opposition. He was imprisoned but the family was never told where he was.Also wading through the bureaucratic labyrinth was Dalal Al-Sumah. Her 16-year-old son, Ahmad, was picked up in 2012 in Sahnayah, a town southwest of Damascus that had joined in the anti-Assad protests a year earlier..For years she searched, bribing whatever authority figure she could find just to find out where Ahmad was being held. One person told her he was in the detention center for Air Force Intelligence, one of the most brutal of Assad’s security services. But when she got permission from the justice ministry to visit, the guards at the gate told her Ahmad wasn’t there. -Inside the notorious military detention center Branch 215 in Damascus. (Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) Two bribes and two fruitless visits later, she was told he was in Sednaya, described by rights groups as “a human slaughterhouse.” Again, the guards denied Ahmad was an inmate, but this time they warned her not to ask again. “He wasn’t involved in anything. He lived in his grandmother’s house and worked as a bricklayer,” Al-Sumah insisted. “Why did they take him?”For many, the journey into Assad’s gulags began in detention facilities attached to military intelligence branches; many of their headquarters are within the so-called Security Quarter of Damascus’ Kafr Sousa neighborhood, each equipped with prison cells and interrogation chambers. A summons to the neighborhood was a nightmare scenario for Syrians. Now, bearded militants stand at the reinforced metal barrier at the quarter’s entrance, barely able to hold back the stream of people hoping to find any information about their loved ones. On the night of the government’s collapse, residents ransacked the buildings, scattering tattered uniforms, spent .50-caliber ammunition rounds, boxes of rocket-propelled grenades and burnt vehicles before the rebels were able to restore order. A portrait of exiled Syrian dictator Bashar Assad hangs outside the notorious military detention center known as Branch 215 in Damascus. (Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) One of those rebels, a 39-year-old who gave his name as Abu Ahmad, walked through Branch 215, which specialized in raids and was nicknamed “The Branch of Death” by inmates. It first gained international infamy after a regime defector under the pseudonym of Caesar released tens of thousands of photos in 2014 of deceased prisoners tortured in its dungeons.Abu Ahmad hails from a rural area near the capital (he refused to give details for security reasons, he said) and he had spent the last 12 years away from his family fighting with the opposition. Before that, he said, he had been detained for two years for Islamist leanings, bouncing among various security agencies.He compared each agency’s treatment of prisoners like a connoisseur.“The Air Force Intelligence folks, their hobby was to break your bones. They just had to do it. The Palestine Branch? Their aim was to humiliate you,” he said. “Each branch had its specialty.”Abu Ahmad stopped at the solitary ward. Each cell had a slanted ceiling which, at its apex, was 6 feet high. The bathroom was a metal-lined hole taking part of the floor, which was was 6 feet by 4 feet. Food could be pushed in through a metal slide at the bottom of the door, with another sliding window at face level.Down the corridor were some of the larger cells, still lined with discarded uniforms and drab-gray U.N.-donated blankets. Though the space was small, more than a dozen would have been placed in a cell, Abu Ahmad said. 1 2 3 1. A set of keys to the jail cells inside the notorious military detention center “215,” in Damascus. 2. A jail cell inside the notorious military detention center “215,” in Damascus. (Ayman Oghanna/Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) 3. A jail cell inside the notorious military detention center “215,” in Damascus. (Ayman Oghanna/Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) A makeshift laundry line hung from a vent, and graffiti adorned the walls, including slogans that read “Contentment is an everlasting treasure,” or “Release will come one day,” daubed with blood or feces. On another wall were carved out prisoners’ names, birthplace and date of incarceration.The security branches had their own records, notable for the meticulousness of their bookkeeping, with reams of files that were now strewn all over office floors. One was a notebook of names and associated fingerprints for when inmates first entered the prison. Many were listed as there for “terrorism,” a catch-all term that included participating in anti-Assad activities. Another appeared to be an accounting of corpses of prisoners who died in custody and were being transferred to nearby military hospitals or being handed over to their families. The body count exceeded 7,000.Other files gave detailed accounts of investigations, underscoring the pervasive surveillance system Syrians lived under for decades, which included a wide network of informants keeping tabs on a target’s every move. Prisons too had their informants, not to mention the shawish, or sergeant, who could be used by prison authorities to maintain order with the inmates. One statement is a testimonial from one prisoner complaining about a cellmate who raped him and forcing him into sexual acts in front of other cellmates. Another letter, written by the warden, complains that uniforms and bedding were used for more than five years and were “no longer fit for human use” due to high number of skin diseases.Back at the Mujtahed morgue, mortician Mohammad Umayrah, 84, began washing the body of a victim killed in an Israeli airstrike two days ago. He dunked a washcloth and wiped the encrusted blood off the face, then wadded tissues inside the mouth and nostrils. He worked quickly with minimal fuss, wrapping the body in a plastic bag — to prevent fluids leaking out — then in three layers of white cloth. An attendant photographs a corpse in the morgue of Damascus’ Mujtahed Hospital. (Ayman Oghanna/For The Times) Umayrah had retired years ago but was called in because several staff members had escaped before the rebels’ advance, leaving the hospital shorthanded. He glanced at people entering the washing area looking for their loved ones, shaking his head as he watched them examine the bodies then leave in disappointment. He lost three sons early in the war and had no idea where they were, he said, but had no hope of identifying them. “I’ll tell you something: After 10 years, even If I saw their bodies in front of me now, I wouldn’t be able recognize them,” he said. He watched in silence as the family of the airstrike victim took the body away.

“how about writing about the characters you already made instead of making new characters-“ no. ✋🏻

Sabri + Hasan are new so here’s a bit about them!

Hasan is independent and almost distant. He enjoys hobbies, working, and generally being alone. He is an introvert is the typical sense, getting energy from being alone. This is not including his family however, he is very close to his mother and brother especially. Sabri’s death hit him very hard. He never bonded with Vasiliy early on, despite loving him dearly, Hasan’s personality is just distant. After Sabri’s death they did cling onto each other more for emotional support.

Sabri is disorganized in his thoughts and often stumbles over his words. He is very sweet and gentle person by nature and is hypersensitive to the emotions of people around him. He is less independent than Hasan and just socially awkward. He and Vasiliy bonded well due to this being a shared social experience. He introduced Vasiliy to metal and the alternate scene. He was unaware he is autistic which is why he and Vasiliy, who is also autistic, bonded so well. His special interests are metal (music), geology, and photography. He struggles greatly with expressing himself, preferring to ignore his emotions and hide them. He struggled with depression and a habit of self harm since he was a young teen. He only ever talked about it briefly to Hasan but has become more and more closed off as he became older. Facing bullying as a child that transformed into plain social rejection from his peers as he got older. He always felt very alone in the world.
