An original experiential poem written for orchestra and a qawwali troupe.

The moment the soul is liberated from the confinement of its body, it experiences the closeness of its creator. Beyond the boundaries of our egos; beyond the rights and wrongs of worldly affairs, beyond you and I is an ocean of love where the creator yearns to meet his creation. Through the experience of Murshid Waqar Faiz, and how he found the Divine - we get to taste a drop of water in the vast ocean of love, drowning the seeker in the depths of the Creator's nearness as if He is right in front of the seeker - Rubaru

Enjoy.
