Rahim Khan (2001)
This is God’s will. God has decided that it is time for me to leave this world, and I have gracefully accepted His decision. However, before I die, I want to present a gift to both Amir Agha and Hassan. The gift in which I will give Amir Agha is a chance to wash away his sin and his guilt. “A chance to be good again.” The gift that I have owed Hassan for a long time is the return of his most beloved friend and brother. With these two gifts, I can leave this world without regret.
Lord, I have sinned. I have known the truth for many many years, and yet I have kept it hidden. I have known about Hassan; the truth about who he really was and what had happened to him. Forgive me Lord, for I was lost. When Hassan told me the truth, I was frustrated at Amir Agha because he did not cherish and love Hassan like a good brother. I love Amir Agha; I did not want hate or blame him. I did not want to tell him about Hassan’s death because I know that Amir Agha would be devastated. Amir Agha would blame himself. It was when I heard that the pomegranate tree that Hassan and Amir adored, burned down, that I have decided to take action.
Amir Agha deserves forgiveness. Just a child he was when that horrible incident occurred. What could he have done? Oh, the irony. He was just an innocent child that desperately wanted his father’s attention, and yet he failed to do the one thing his father wanted him to do, standing up for what is right. My last task is to convince Amir Agha to stand up for his brother, and bring back Sohrab. Be courageous Amir Agha. I will pray for you.
This is a song is a perfect parallel to what I want to tell Amir Agha. Find the answer to the riddle Amir Agha; find the answer to life. I will never give up on you, because I love you. There is a reason for the world, there is a reason for you.

ReplyDeleteRahim Khan, although you have left this world, you will always remain in my heart. Thank you for your gift, Rahim Khan. For once in my life, I had to courage to stand up for someone I care for, Sohrab. I had finally done something for Hassan. I had finally become the brother and friend that Hassan always believed I was. I have never felt so free in my life, never. I lived up to Baba’s and Hassan’s expectations, and it’s all thanks to you Rahim Khan. Sohrab, my nephew is the most important person to me. Please pray for him, Rahim Khan. He still refuses to talk to me and Soraya. Everyday, I read to Sohrab the story of Rustum and Soharb, I teach him how to read and write, and I teach to him the art of kite flying. Rahim Khan, I remember Hassan saying that he wanted to relive our childhood in Kabul. Even though Hassan has left, I will show Sohrab our childhood, in hopes that Hassan is watching. For Hassan and Sohrab, a thousand times over.
This is a song I want to show you. This song is dedicated to Hassan and Sohrab. It is a song about troubled children and what we could of have to save them. I couldn't save Hassan, but I have saved Sohrab
