Give Love Its Place

 

My Beautiful one your love tore me from this cocoon before that I thought I would live all my life crawling you set me free.

My friends I tell you the secret the reality is love find it in any corner and let it ascend you for love is the reflection of a healthy heart & nothing in the earth nor heavens can contain Him except a believers heart.

Love makes you fall to your knees forgetting yourself it makes bursts of tears gush down the cheeks.

 It keeps the focus on the one even against the world itself. Love can bring down a thousand internal & external enemies.

They don’t know that my love is a form of worship that seeks you in their internal light you reflex in their hearts.

 I am the moth & the light has hypnotized me even if I were to fly into the sun seeking You.

 Love is like the messenger that squeezed so tight and whispered. Love is the teacher & the answer.

 

I smiled once thinking my only big pains in life was due to love pains compared to others suffering mine seemed like a delight.

Yet now knowing that to be far from the beloved one becomes a martyr!

Yes I am a martyr I’ve died and you brought me back to life and I’ve died a thousand times more away from you yet a thousand times your nearness has revived me.

Allah why do they try to separate us

Why are they jealous of this love?

I just wanted you

They drove me to insanity with pain

I just wanted you

They saw me as a crazy idiot

Their promises were false that I would find you with them

My heart always knew you were far from them

I just wanted you

Allah no one ever gave me like the sweetness of your love

I run to you in my lonely nights

My heart calls out to you without any thought required

You swoon my heart to the music of this longing

I just want you

Forgive me for being distracted with anything other than you

Oh! Allah you make my heart light as a feather

While this world burdens my heart with heaviness

Let them smash my heart & break it into pieces!

Those fools think they have dragged me down

but you gave me wings

You are the nearest to me beating in my heart

How can I explain to them we have already meet

How can I tell them of your sweetest voice?

Oh! Allah you are the light, the voice, the letters in the wall, my heart’s occupant

Allahim Allahim Allahim Allahim my Allah my lovely my life source my soul owner

You Had to Say His Name

You’ve become the poison that runs through my veins

The prohibited fruit I should not taste

They say to be steady & hold fast

It is a test

They’ve seen our story already unfold

I am in heaven & touching you will bring me to hell

This longing in my heart from where does it come?

This squeezing warning in my heart from where does it come?

All senses say stay away

I love the spark of light I seen in you

I dread the darkness I seen in you

You say to pray for the darkness to go

Is it possible to love a being for one atom worth of light?

I’ve seen what splitting an atom can do

I see Him in every man’s face that mentions His name

Muhammad

As the letter began For the Glory of Allah Azawajahl and the Honor of his Holy Prophet sws

I gave my unconditional love to the one who uttered this

It is so easy to write down not knowing that the one who read it engraved it in their heart

It is so easy to mention that in your blood runs His to one who smiles as you drag a dagger through their heart

There is one who walks in His foots steps that has lifted my hearts burdens

My beloved, truthful, sincere, Master Nazim to whom all beautiful names belong

All my Master asked is that I run to His heart where He keeps me in a shell awaiting the day He presents me as a pearl in front of Sayyidina Muhammad & Allah

Poetry dedicated to Mawlana:

Death in Love
I live for you
I die for you
When I see, I see none save you
When I hear, I hear you
My actions are for you
My entire existence craves for your pleasure
You are the Hidden Treasure!
Oh Master, you have taught me Love
If I’ve have sipped from this cup, then I wish to get drunk
For the taste of thy Love
cannot compare
As the waters of Heaven and Earth differ
Water is Love
Love is Essence
Love brings life to the dead heart
Death in Love brings New Life
Oh Master bring death in my love for Thee.

O fellow wayfarer!

steady your steed,

tarry a while...

to take Heed:

This smoke spiralling up,

Rise

from my house of a nafs;

I"m attempting...atempting...

To set aflame..

And watch it burn

Frame by frame.

O fellow wayfarer!

Carry word to my MASTER

That i am grappling with

struggling....struggling...

to unfasten

This girdle of a Dunya...

to shake away...to shake away...

O fellow wayfarer!

Carry word to my MASTER

I am straddling ...straddling...

This blessed Awraad'

And arming...
arming myself

With the Dhikr

O fellow wayfarer!

Carry word to my MASTER...

I m on my WAY...


Never to stray...

Plodding...plodding....

Nevertheles on my way...

Im on my way...

Way behind ..but ...coming...coming..

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
(M)

All Adam's race are members of one frame;
Since all, at first, from the same essence came.
When by hard fortune one limb is oppressed,
The other members lose their wonted rest:
If thou feel'st not for others' misery,
A son of Adam is no name for thee.


How could I ever thank my Friend?
No thanks could ever begin to be worthy.
Every hair of my body is a gift from Him;
How could I thank Him for each hair?
Praise that lavish Lord forever
Who from nothing conjures all living beings!
Who could ever describe His goodness?
His infinite glory lays all praise waste.
Look, He has graced you a robe of splendor
From childhood's first cries to old age!
He made you pure in His own image; stay pure.
It is horrible to die blackened by sin.
Never let dust settle on your mirror's shining;
Let it once grow dull and it will never polish.
When you work in the world to earn your living
Do not, for one moment, rely on your own strength.
Self-worshiper, don't you understand anything yet?
It is God alone that gives your arms their power.
If, by your striving, you achieve something good,
Don't claim the credit all for yourself;
It is fate that decides who wins and who loses
And all success streams only from the grace of God.
In this world you never stand by your own strength;
It is the Invisible that sustains you every moment.

Have no doubts because of trouble nor be thou discomfited;
For the water of life's fountain springeth from a gloomy bed.

Ah! ye brothers of misfortune! be not ye with grief oppressed,
Many are the secret mercies which with the All-bounteous rest.


If one His praise of me would learn,
What of the traceless can the tongueless tell?
Lovers are killed by those they love so well;
No voices from the slain return.


The man of God with half his loaf content,
To darweshes the remnant will present;
But though a king seven regions should subdue,
He'll still another conquest keep in view.


The world, my brother! will abide with none,
By the world's Maker let thy heart be won.
Rely not, nor repose on this world's gain,
For many a son like thee she has reared and slain.
What matters, when the spirit seeks to fly,
If on a throne or on bare earth we die?


To the wall of the faithful what sorrow, when pillared securely on thee?
What terror where Nuh is the pilot, though rages the storm-driven sea?


- Excerpted from The Rose Garden (The Gulistan) of Shaykh Muslihu'd-Din Sadi of Shiraz

**************** True Love Is Always Blessed ************

True love is something it does not
walk into your mind,
Because it is blessed that is how
you are able to find.

Even if you are in a crowd,
Because your heart is not looking,
And you are not thinking,
With a fear as you are crawling,
away from it without blinking.

Soon you feel very shy,
As if you know something,
Whispering to your heart asking why?
with a smiling face a reply comes to you.

Someone secretly from the Divine love,
Suddenly in your heart,
Came knocking at the door,
Who is that special someone?
All along you have been searching for......

The heart got lighten up,
Sparkling eyes, danced with joyful happiness.
While sinking in a deemed fearful shy,
Wondering with a question what took you so long?
Is it blessed but why?

Because you are chosen to be blessed,
from the secret Divine love;
True love is something it does not
walk into your mind.

Heavenly light is dazzling upon you,
from the secret Divine love.
Because it is blessed,
that is how you are able to find.

" The Heart Of A Muslim " --- Zain Bhikha

Looking up at the sky,
searching for Allah most High,
He rejected the way of
Worshipping Gods of clay.

Prophet Ibrahim knew that
Allah was near,
And that the heart of a
Muslim is sincere.

Under the hot burning sun,
the declared God is one.
Though with stones on his chest,
his Imaan would not rest.

The Muadhin knew that the right
would conquer the wrong,
And the heart of a
Muslim must be strong.

It' s the heart of a Muslim through
the guidance of Islam,
It makes you fair, and kind, and helpful,
to your fellow man.

So living as a Muslim means that
you must play a part,
Allah looks not at how you look,
but what is in your heart.

In our poor meager state,
little food on our plate,
Mother said she was glad,
Always sharing what we had,
When I asked how can we share,
What' s not enough,
she said the heart of a
Muslim' s filled with love.

He said it' s time you ..........
Should know, you will.......
learn as you grow,
Father said to be a star
that's shining bright,
For the heart of a Muslim
does what' s right.

It' s the heart of a Muslim
through the guidance of Islam,
So whatever you,
make sure your words are true,
Honesty is the best,
Because life is a test.

Even if it hurts so much
you want to cry,
For the heart of a Muslim
does not lie .........
