Dear beloved prophet
Today at school, the teacher asked us to draw you
I like to draw, but I never saw you
So I closed my eyes
And I saw a tear in the eye of my mother while reading your story
I saw my father praying all night
I saw my elder sister smiling, even though she just got insulted in the street
I saw my best friend asking me for forgiveness, even though I was to blame
I want to draw all these images
Here, people want to see everything, to watch everything
But I closed my eyes
And I saw you coming towards me
I saw you coming towards us
With the most perfect smile
How could I ever draw a perfect smile?
The teacher did not let me speak when I wanted to explain to her
I can't blame her
She probably never learnt to love someone she doesn't see
But me, I love you without seeing you
I am not good at drawing but I like to write
I like to write to you, yaa Rasulullah
If you could only come back amongst us for a few hours
a few seconds...
a few moments...
She could understand eventually
