The Story
The Story Behind the Painting
Baba Sheikh Farid (1173–1266), a revered Sufi saint and poet, was known for his deep spirituality and ascetic lifestyle. One day, as the story goes, Baba Farid was sitting in a remote place, deeply absorbed in divine remembrance. Weakened by his rigorous fasting and meditative practices, he had become frail. Seeing this, a crow began circling above him, waiting for him to perish, mistaking him for a lifeless being. In this moment, Baba Farid, rather than being disturbed, recited this powerful couplet:
“Kaaga karang dhandolya;
Sagla khaya maas;
Eh do nainan mat choohiyo’
Pir dekhan ki aas”
Translation:”O Crow, you’ve searched my skeleton, and eaten all my flesh, But please do not touch my eyes, for I still hope to see my beloved Divine (Pir/God). “
