Beautiful Urdu calligraphy in embroidery on a unisex cotton shawl or dupatta,
with tasseled edges. An alluring accessory for Sherwanis, Salwar Kameezes, Pathanis, or even when cleverly paired with western ensemble.
The shawl features Urdu calligraphy that spells out the phrase "Zindagi Gulzaar Hai"
in repeating loops along the border of this wrap, traditionally worn as an upper garment by men and woman alike, to compliment a tunic or shirt.
Literally translated, the phrase means "Life is as beautiful", or more acurately, "Life is as beautiful as a garden of flowers".
Sufis speak of a gentle way of continual blessing available to us — a way of beauty. Following the way of beauty does not require adherence to a special belief, it is a path that simply reveals itself through our intimate experience. A wise man once said, "Beauty is our point of contact with love.” Sufis believe that beauty has been created for a purpose. It touches us and awakens something in our own faculties; and we respond with love.This simple saying reminds us to see the beauty in everyday life, rather than get caught up with the tribulations of mundanity.
Involved as they are in the mysticism of letters and words, it was quite natural for Sufis to see the handwriting of God in everyday objects and events. This idea is elevated higher with the Zindagi Gulzaar Hai shawl, deftly crafted in calligraphic style.
