Lover's Rhapsody

Lovers are wildly passionate seekers of God.

They are intoxicated by their heart's longing for union with their Beloved.

They ache and pray with their whole beings for the Light behind all forms.

They thirst to drink the nectar of Love in every moment.

They hunger to explore and know what lies behind the veils of perceived reality.

They demand truth with their whole existence and will not settle for anything less.

They are misfits,

incapacitated by Love's hangover,

wandering the world seeking Home,

unable to dance to the rhythm of anything other than the celestial tune of the Universe.

They are the mystics, dreamers, healers, artists, poets,

singers, dancers, visionaries, empaths, shamans,

and ultimately, the devoted ones to the Heart of life.

With nearly one hundred ecstatic love poems and dozens of bonus verses written in the literary style of great Sufi masters like Rumi, Hafez, and Shams-i-Tabriz, multi-award-winning author Adam Malik Siddiq has created a timeless poetic masterpiece that's destined to awaken every heart that reads these words. Written during the experiences of spiritually awakened states, these transmissions will quench the thirst of every soul seeker.

Adam Siddiq was born in Los Angeles on August 18th, 1992 to Afghan immigrant parents. Adam is the author of the multi-award-winning book, SHACKLED: A Journey From Political Imprisonment To Freedom, which chronicles his grandfather Khaled's life through all the adversities his family faced in Afghanistan between 1932-1979. Adam has been a contributing writer to a number of media publications, including The Huffington Post, Thrive Global, Elephant Journal, Lifehack, and more.

Khaled Siddiq "Charkhi" is the grandson of Afghanistan's national hero, Sepah-Salar (Commander-in-Chief) Ghulam Haidar Khan Charkhi, and the son of one of the leading right-hand men to King Amanullah Khan, Ghulam Siddiq Khan Charkhi. Khaled was imprisoned at the tender age of six for twenty years when Nadir Shah betrayed King Amanullah Khan, his father, and all those in support of the rightful king to the throne. The story of his life was captured into a book by his grandson, Adam Siddiq, which went on to become a multi-award-winning book and an award-winning audiobook. Khaled is the author of multiple books in Dari (Farsi), including the most comprehensive book on Afghanistan's hidden history from the past few centuries. He has published poetry collections and written many songs that have been sung by the most famous Afghan and Iranian singers in the world, including "Man Amadeam" by Googoosh.
