The Dream-like Prize! O Elegant Flame of my wax-like heart! For a while beside me you sit. Already I am hurt Thinking you will soon part To win that 'dream-like' prize Every opportunity I am eager to seize Like a Divine key Unlock the secrets within me. With the light of His Mercy Brighten my face looking so gloomy. My senses are scattered around Confusion is making me go round If with His rope, me you bound Angels with blessings Near you will surround. To win that 'dream-like' prize Every opportunity I am eager to seize Those around are mocking me in tease (saying)- 'This nightingale is in real craze His madness shall never cease. Left or right, the way he cannot choose Poor thing! He is lost in Love's maze!' O the warmth of my heart! Standing in the cold I am about to freeze While praying, "Ya Hayy! Ya Qayyum! Ya Qawiyy! Ya Azeez! To win that 'dream-like' prize Every opportunity I am eager to seize My confidence lies in the Cool Breeze That I whisper all night long for the Rasool-e-Hijaz! sallallahu alaihi wa sallam... [- Rasool-e-Hijaz: The Prophet of Hijaz. Presently, Hijaz is the area around Makkah, the holiest place in Islam, where Ka'aba is situated. Since time immemorial, until the advent of the present ruling monarchy, the entire belt covering the whole of Saudi Arabia was known as Hijaz. This is how it was known in the traditions and historical records. The present name was given after the ruling Saud family.] http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/prize.htm
