| To live in Paradise for years... ************************ http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/liveinparadise.htm O Mighty Lord of Man and jinn True it is we day and night sin Our worldly greed knows no measure We feed our belly with much pleasure Yet we dream of matters high and great Beggars we are- knocking at the King's gate Here I present to You such a desire Foolish I am though daring to aspire Let my name be heard before the Beloved When my greetings to him is swiftly delivered Jaihoon's is not a name of any saintly merit But to be heard there shall such status inherit The Beloved is that 'Bag of Honey' 'Drops are the sages who from it fell' May the Beloved while on earth know That my name is son of so and so So that on the Last Day He will near the Lake recall When out of thirst for a single drop I shall helplessly crawl O Allah! Sound my name in Your Beloved's ears Suffice it is to live in Paradise for years sallallahu ala Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday Jan 06 2005.
