The Rise of the Sun & the Moon of Islam
The
World may be cut Asunder,
But
not my Love for You,
Your Essence
fills me,
And
grants me the elixir of Unity,
In
Your pure Divinity;
You
say to let go of the filth of this world,
And
come in Your embrace,
Devoid
of the temporalities of temporalities;
You
crafted a Being,
And
breathed in Your Soul,
The
Divine Soul will see through,
The
Trials of this world;
In the
Glow of a Setting World,
The Sun
will rise again,
To give
a Last Ray of Hope to the Universe,
The
cry, out of this world
Will
fill Your Universe,
With submission to Your Will;
O You
the Indweller of My Heart,
Give
Life to the Bird of Clay,
And
let it fly to the highest sky of Your pleasure,
And
let this world never be able,
To
catch hold of it,
But
let it transform into the Most Noble of Souls,
To
teach them all,
Perfection
in Submission to Your Will,
A
Loving Teacher and Guide,
To raise
the Flag of Islam,
To the
Highest Peak of Victory;
In the
outburst of what remains of this World,
Let
him fly the flight of Love,
Let
him taste the taste of Mercy,
Let
him be peace through Peace
Peace,
Love and Mercy which come from You,
O Dear
Comrade Sweetheart;
A
piece of my heart awaits the Moon,
To
filter through my room,
To
brighten my little world,
With
the smile of Your pleasure;
The
cry, the smile are all Yours,
You
are the Perfect Creator,
Perfect
Fashioner,
Who
carved me out of Nothingness,
And
made me the Light of this world;
O Dear
Friend,
My
Strongest Support,
Come
to me,
Your Arms
are most comforting,
Take
me away from all the nonsense of this world,
But
let me delve in the exquisiteness of Your Love,
For my
mission is only valid through You,
To
fill this world with Your Tawheed [Unity];
The
enemies try to snatch me away from You,
The
sneers, the taunts, the blames,
I eat
them all with patience
Which
comes from You,
Let
the tears of despair never touch me,
O You
the Guardian of My Soul,
Let
every flower in my path bloom on my arrival,
Let
every perfume be manifest again,
Like
the sweetest scents of the Heavens,
Let
there be with Your Will,
Heaven
on Earth,
Such
heaven which enables one and all to see,
The
Glory and Beauty of Islam;
O You
Who bring the Sun of Faith in my life,
You
Who let me bathe in the ocean of exquisite Love,
In
Nothingness I reside,
Yet
Your one Word can change my Fate,
And
make me grow and glow in the darkness of this world,
To
become the staunchest of believers and messengers,
Who
abide by Your command for all times;
If Eternity
is Yours,
O my
Maker,
Let
the coolness of Paradise,
Bring
solace to my burning heart,
If the
heat and cold of hell fear my Presence,
Give
them the glad tidings of relief and assuage their sorrows,
For O
Dear Friend,
I seek
You, Only You,
Then be
mine, and let me be Yours,
Guiding
me, Shielding me against all hurdles of life. Ameen.
“Light
will become Light only through you,
Darkness
will dissipate and leave way for the most beautiful morning”
