The Preceding Travelers
بچھڑ جانے والے اور سفرِ آخرت
Original Arabic • متنِ عربی
فَقْدُ الْأَحِبَّةِ غُرْبَةٌ.
Urdu Translation • اردو ترجمہ
عزیزوں اور دوستوں کا کھو دینا پردیس (اور تنہائی) ہے۔
English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ
“The loss of loved ones is a state of loneliness (estrangement).”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ touches upon a universal human emotion. He explains that “home” is not defined by walls or geography, but by the people we love. When those loved ones pass away, a person becomes a stranger ($Gharib$) in their own land. This wisdom validates our grief while subtly reminding us that since this world is temporary, our true reunion and permanent home lie in the hereafter.
