In The End

Image
In the end, When we are given eyes of clear sight,                                              We will be judged; Not by some lofty God,                                              By our own conscience. Here, it may seem f orgiveness  is not close by,                But she will come,                                             if she sees you crying,                  to dry your tears.   Hey, I have   an idea,  Why not cry now, Cry hard, Feel your sou...

  Song of the Mureed   Part I: Love Everlasting Said the Murshid: Give me thy hand, I will walk with thee through the valley of death, That thou might know, as I know, life everlasting. For I was born that thou may have eternal life. Part II: A Drop in Thy Ocean When I feel myself as a drop in the ocean of your heart, Wherein the whole universe is reflected, Then truly do I know there is only One Being. Lost in the embrace of thy ecstasy,  I become one with All the rhythms of life, and the stillness beyond.   Part III: Heaven on Earth Beloved Murshid Thy humanity calls my soul to Earth, And thy divinity transforms Earth into Heaven. Part IV: Oh Holy One   Ya Quddus , Ya  Quddus Sings the mureed’s heart In the presence of the murshid; Eyes attentive, Lips closed, Heart Open. Ya Quddus, Ya Quddus Through the murshid, the most holy one is present. The sacred gate of God’s light upon Earth...
