-To The Broken Hearted Do not blame yourself and look for the reason in yourself. You are very normal even though you were deceived. You trusted because anyone who loves trusts. You trusted because relationships without trust is hell. You uncovered the underlining weakness in you because the lover takes off all his defenses. Do not be ashamed for being the victim. The shame is for the executioner only. Kindness, even if its consequences are dire, is not a mistake. The mistake is only for the cruel. You do not have to feel ashamed because you opened the door. The shame is for the one who knocked the door with vain intentions. 12 To The Broken Hearted If you want to get rid of a relationship. With the slightest of pains and the easiest of ways Then, close all doors and windows against it Do not steal a look at it or lend it a hearing Leave them to their lives and proceed with yours Relate with the matter the way you relate with the dead You heap sand on the dead and turn your back. You do not return to it every day to check its condition in Barzakh Leave them in their Barzakh Move on, nothing hurts more than turning back! 25 |

ADHAM SHARKAWI TO THE BROKEN HEARTED As long as things do not smear my dignity or break my pride, I will hold on! As for the moment I am humiliated, I let go in such a manner that there is no holding back after that. It has never happened that anything fell from me and I bent down to pick it up: especially, since my dignity has always been greater than my heart; and this is one of the qualities I admire most about myself. www.dakwahbookstore.com ISBN 978-629-7545-21-9 DAKWAH CORNER 9 786297 545219 BOOKSTORE
