| Strange indeed is this thing called Love http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/strange.htm Ya Allah! Allow me To live little more For, Your Beloved [saw] I wish To further adore May my heart With his love burn To follow him, May my life learn Strange indeed is this Thing called love No any rest nor any leisure For the lover does it allow Every now and then He is in constant moan Even in midst of the common crowd His heart is alone when grazing the field Strange indeed is this Thing called love With no regards to the cup's size The wine exceeds the brim's flow Therefore, O Al Ghafoor, Spread open my heart For the Beloved [saw] To make his path May my eyes be pure and chaste So that a glance on Your Beloved I may cast Jaihoon is not among those Who can Your Deen eloquently preach Yet, include me along those Who can Your Beloved's [saw] love far reach Set me free from pride Even as slight as a mustard seed Let not envy on my heart feed As fire consumes it like the dry weed Make me brave and bold But never anger on me unfold For ambitious heights do I go an aspire When the Full Moon [saw] in me does love inspire My dreams never will cease Unless death on me will play its tease But O Generous Lord. Even for the Devil Much respite did you avail So, grant this sinner When in the Qabr The fortune to honor Who shone as Qamar. Strange indeed is this Thing called love Whenever I think of Your Beloved [saw] All my worries cease, or get halved. sallallahu ala Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam! - JAIHOON :) *Glossary Al Gafoor: Most Forgiving Pride and mustard seed: A man who has pride in heart even as little as a mustard seed will not enter paradise (Hadith) [Thankful to a friend who brought this Hadith into my attention] Envy and fire: Jealousy will eat up the good deeds just as fire consumes wood (Hadith) Brave and anger: Strong among you are those who control their anger (Hadith) Devil and respite: The Satan was given respite until the Last day despite his damnation by God. Qamar: Moon |
