Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem

Swirling of Love all over Universe
And your beautiful voice says : "JALAL JALALUHU "

The Holy Dervishes go round and round
At the cry of " JALAL JALALUHU "

The creation of God whispers the Beautiful name of
JALAL JALALUHU

And my heart swoons at the sound of
JALAL JALALUHU

ALLAHUMA SALLI ' ala MUHAMMADIN wa 'ala 'Ali MUHAMMADIN wa Sallim

Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim

She is a Lady
A beautiful Lady
A Lady I wish to be

In the service of God Almighty
Her heart, her soul , her family
She is a beautiful Lady

May Allah shower His blessings ,His Love,
To the gracious Lady I wish to be

ALLAHUMA SALLI 'ala MUHAMMADIN wa 'ala 'Ali MUHAMMADIN wa Sallim

( Ihda li Hajja Naziha with Love)

Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim

Is my heart made of iron?
Copper? Silver coated?
Whichever material it is made of
I wish my heart be made of Gold...

Is my heart full of dark spots?
Full of dirt? Full of sins?
Whichever colour it may be
I wish my heart be made of Light...

O Allah ! Please! Give me Powers!
The Six Holy Powers of the heart
Please Ya Rabb! The realities
Of attraction,intercession
Down pouring, scrolling, focussing
O Allah! The reality of Guidance!

O Allah! Forgive my insolence
My self- conceit, my ignorance
Ya Rabb, forgive my vanity!
My pride and my impunity ....

O Allah! Please shower me with humility!....

His beautiful smile smiled at me
Me who is nothing
His elegant green cloak shined
Shined at me who is nothing

His handsome face looked at me
And I felt shame
Shame of my sins ...
I hope his sight will fall on me
Me who is nothing

My heart is dark
And full of everything
But Light shines through
Because of you Sultan
Your Love of God is everlasting

The rose on your turban
Has awakened my heart
The breath of your Sohbat
Has enlightened my soul

Your Love of us, poor thing
Has awakened our hopes
My heart was a puzzle
Finally found a picture

Shine, shine O Sultan
Sultan Al Awliyas
Your rays shone upon me
And my heart is lighted
Lighted with Love of God

Burn burn heart of the one
The one who is nothing
Burn burn til ashes
And fly fly away
Fly to Allah The One
The One The Everything

I love You O Sultan
Sultan Al Awliyas
May Allah grant you peace
Magnificent Sultan
I'm just an ant
And I pray to Allah
He showers over you
The powers of Sulaiman
The patience of Yusuf
The kindness of 'Issa

And.... ALLAHUMA SALLI 'ala MUHAMMADIN wa 'ala Ali MUHAMMADIN wa Sallim

What happens when you’re not defined by this world?

When you have taken shelter in a small room far from all

Stayed up in the silence of the night seeking Him

Your mind tried to focus and depending on the need you seeked with more fervor

The need of having another heart companion over took you

Your mind wanted Him but your heart seemed to split

Broken enough times the heart regenerates

After all aren’t some remedies composed of crushed elements?

You’re no longer in that room you are in the crowed

Your eyes see wide the splendors some say of this world

But your heart is in serenity dwirling in His companionship

A companionship that is ever present ever fruitful ever fufilling

A poem by my wife jamylah, may Allah bless her.

 

Who said I must be polite with you?
Who said I must qualify my words in this
venue,
Here,
Now?
You...yes you,
Damn you!
That word should be an
atomic blast simply because my fist isn't swollen enough to grind you into fine
sand.

I can, and I will blame you,
With a hurricane of repugnance
conjured by my one vein of reason.

You are not a weightless
shadow
Predictably dancing like a white-eyed puppet,
You are not a
smokeless flame ball snickering whispers from behind the thorny hedges.
You
are the innate worm, the tameless dragon, the enraged equine mocker
Expanding
yourself inside me with supercilious ravage.

Beware, when I mend and rise
renewed from this bier upon which you've presumptuously laid me,
I will be at
you again with furious lashes and fatal gashes!
The jihad will joyously
resume until you fall like a feathery leaf to the ground, where it will ever
prostrate beneath its tree.
Then, your potency will only restore me like the
waters of zam zam,
So beware, my nafs, beware!

A mureedah of shaykh nazim ,describes her dreams of Habibi Nabi Muhammad al mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in a poem;

I remember the night I kissed your cheek
Awed and honored by your heart calling mine
Awakening with feverish disbelief
That you, Beloved Nabi, would greet me so soon.
 
And I remember another moonlit den
Where you gave me my secret Shahadah
Speaking beyond what my ears could hear
Pulling my soul with the universe in your eyes
 
Ya Nabi, peace be upon you
Ya Rasool, I can’t believe you let me find you
In times of need and turmoil you call me to your court
And remind me I’ve been crowned with the pulse of your blood
 
I remember the night I floated over the Kaabah
Flooded with love as I watched the pilgrims bathe their prayer rugs in tears
They vowed even then to never wash away that barakah
And I wished for the chance to do the same
 
Ya Habib, remember when you left me in the darkened hall?
And I called after you, “You are the best person in the world! I love you!”
Your green cloak flowed behind you as I watched you disappear
I haven’t seen you since, and I miss you my dear
 
Ya Nabi, peace be upon you
Ya Rasool, I wish I loved you more
You are the brightest star, the sweetest word, the kindest soul
Who beams noor into our dusty abodes
 
I remember the secret hadith you shared with me
The fear of illness and the promise of a child
And who can count the gems of guidance you have given me
Like rivers of light flowing down
 
Every blazing comfort is your heartfelt gift
Every step you walk with us returns us to Allah
Every stellar congregation in your presence cures my heart
Every request for aid is the weightless love you carry for us all
 
Ya Nabi, peace be upon you
Ya Rasool, your brilliance burns my fears away
I send you greetings and may the blessings of Jumaah find you
And so may I, Insha’Allah, again

This is a Poem by my wife (with her permission i am relating this) she had a dream in which she was in a gathering of muslims all saying poetry.When it was her turn she realized that she did not prepare any poem to say so was scared.Finally,she decided to just say something hoping that she would be inspired with something and alhamdulillah a poem came from her heart in the dream ,of which when she woke up,remembered every word.

The Poem she was inspired with in her dream is as follows;

You say you want to know me
You want to see who I really am
Well here I am before you
Here is where I stand

I'm not anything to be proud of
I'm insecure and I am weak
I can't find my soul to show you
See here, I can barely speak!

You say you want me to trust you
You want me to reach for you when I'm down
But how can I grab hold of you
When I don't see you around?

You say that you are here for me
You say that I only must trust
Well this is me trying to reach you
This is me giving my best!

I will keep striving to find you
I'll keep coming if you give me the chance
I promise that instead of hiding away
I'll stand up and dance.

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.
