It's a world of its own, words and meanings are only derived not from the linguistics of the language but the linguistics of that certain heart.When dance is the movement of the strings between the emotions of the heart through the sense of the body. Raqs : The Dance of Passion by Shaista Yacoob is a dance of her heart through the sense of the ever changing world.This book points everything from desire to love, from Heavens to God and from God to all the attachments and the others.Shaista Yacoob depicted love as a being or a power only starts from him ( Almighty) where everything starts and love is something which could bloom on some and any dry hollow mountains or to blast a plateau without any explosives or fire power needed.Even she welcomes death through her as though, she is meeting a kind travellor; who have travelled with her all along the day and night. She could remember at the end that she isn't fond of memories that aren't ink but she is happy if there is colours parted in many.When she fills in thin light over thick darkness from one anomaly to another, she asks about us kindly; Were we not able to see the good and perfections around us rather tremble and fret over only slight misperfection or that ignorable eye.Rating Class - 𝕾 √Review & Clicks by @abitofmemoryTap Helpful if it is...

Shaista’s is a consistent voice that rises above the mundane and carries you with her into an experience of exquisite love and deep spirituality.

It is utterly beautiful. Just go for it . You will dance under the flow of divine love

The poems give you a glimpse of the poet’s continuous search to understand the meaning of life, creation, and love. You get a sense of her journey in creating a connection with her maker. Soulful !!!

The poet has beautifully expressed the passion of love. There is so much of sufism in her thoughts. Gives a lot of calm and peace while reading though.

these, not just words; its her life... poetry is her every thought, speech... movement & action🙏🏽

Must read! Amazing poetry by a great writer.

The manifestation of love in all concepts is felt throughout this book. One can hear the harmony of spheres and the words shine in eternal dance.

Beautiful and lyrical poetry on love and life. Shaista creates a romantic world describing all the aspects of longing.

Shaista Yacoob shares a contemporary expression of the spirit shared by Rumi's later work. Her poetry reads simply while transporting you into the depths of her passion, thought and heart. The poems shared in Raqs: The Dance of Passion are a wonderful extension of the Sufi tradition with the freshness of a contemporary work. I hope this is the first of many contributions Shaista brings to our time and world.

Wow! Great poetry...so elegant, yet simple to read and comprehend. Great work, I think this poet is going to make a name for herself!
