Here is a poem (written by Azra Mughal) translated into English, that reflects the spirit of SDI: a journey of navigating: Rise from Within: A Strength Deployment Inventory Reflection If light surrounds me, I will emerge with charm If darkness falls I will rise with light. I am the gaze Driven by the sacred prostration’s fire My journey of mysteries Shall rise from the brow. Step with care And wisdom here Even thorns will bloom And rise from the garden’s edge. When you see me You won’t believe your eyes Such stature, as if I have Risen from the very earth. Wherever I am By the vow of selfhood I dwell within And from my depths, I will emerge. Comments about the Poem This poetic reflection mirrors the essence of the SDI framework. Just like the poem, SDI invites us to look deeper within ourselves to understand: Strengths, Conflict, and Transformation May become overly accommodating or resentful. Might become aggressive or controlling. Might withdraw or become overly critical. “We dwell within and from our own depths, we’ll emerge.” Seeing conflict not as an end but as an invitation to self-awareness and growth.
