Bismillah. Our city was recently honoured by a visit by the noble master, Shaykh Nuh Keller. Among his many students, was our dear brother, the Wandering Troubadour. Below is his poem for the fuqara...yet another beautiful composition!
Night among the ‘Alawiyya
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
I came to your perfumed garden,
Your wandering cousin of Hashimi.
You took me in a full embrace.
Sweet love burned between you and me.
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
We poured our hearts into the air,
Loosed all chains, and set them free.
You took me and lowered my hood
And pure love was all I could see.
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
In your tender gaze, I was a
Virgin bride unveiled and ready.
We shared more than words understood.
Words danced in speechless ecstasy.
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
Hand-in-hand and hand-in-sleeve
We danced and roared our love fully.
With your eyes you pointed our hearts,
Your breath was ours, a living sea.
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
Wave upon wave pounded until
No cruel shore could resist our plea.
Allah. Allah. Allah, Sidi!
This port of love was destiny.
Paradise is in your company
O brethren hearts of ‘Alawi.
Interesting blog you got here. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this matter.
