Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilanee.
Step into my home
Without hesitation
As naught there is
In my home except
My yearning for you…
If you should visit
The desolation at
My graveside
Flooded will be
My home by my
Bleeding Heart!
Be not seductive
Do not let down
Your perfumed locks
My passionate heart
Lacks the strength
Of iron chains!
From your abode of
Angels – a caged bird
Am I in this futile world!
Allah’s light unveiled
Is my sustenance…
When Munkir Nakir
Inquire of me
Who my Lord is
I will reply the
Same He is – Who
Holds my wanton heart!
Grateful to Allah
I am – not to have
Died – ere I reached
My Friend – commendable
Is such courage – mine!
Burnt I am
By the effulgence
Of One Who
Brings to Life
‘tis a marvel- of my courage
Feels my Friend!
