YA RABB
In the Garden of Bliss and Delight
Tears drop as pearls.
Melting as a green mossy mist on which we float.
Suspended.
Embalmed in a syrup of tranquility.
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Euphoric words pirouette from the pages of the Holy Scripture.
Spiraling
Heavenward as they meet souls in the hearts of green birds
Swirling around the Throne.
Crystal chimes tinkle.
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Murmurs mingle as music.
Beads rhythmically mesmerize the mind.
Angels Dhikr mimicked in lulling laments.
A spring cleaning chorus
Sweeping the heart of unwanted guests.
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Dust and dreams weave prismic patterns
On a gossamery web.
Hallowing the sacred space
Between the Minbar and Al-Mustafa,
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Golden orbs of light hang as succulent fruits
Festooning a festival of flavours
Hitherto hidden beyond Your Fragrant Lote Tree
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Slaves draped in sin spun cloaks
Propelled by the allure of Muqaddas,
Sanctified One, gather at his sanctuary.
Desires paralyzed from peals of repentance.
The heart empty of beggar beseeching
For known, unknown, loved and missed,
Waits.
To be inflamed.
In the garden of bliss and delight.
Ya Rabb,
A persistent echo resounds.
To see Your Countenance,
To swoon in ecstasy
As a goblet is held to the lips
By Your Diadem,
SallAllahu alaihi wassalam.
IN YOUR ETERNAL GARDEN OF BLISS AND DELIGHT.
YA RABBIL ‘AALAMEEN
Dedicated to all precious J’s and T’s and S’s and F’s and I’s and Q’s and M’s and all in between….all He Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala knows I implore Him for. Ameen
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. Ameen.
A heartwarming and lovely poem, O humble speck
Surely your blog is also a garden of bliss and delight.
Ya Haqq,
An unworthy mote of dust

Assalamu alaikum dear “I” brothers! SubhanAllah! Oh look at the moon…and even a speck or mote of dust seems audacious. May we beg more of His Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala’s mercy, Ameen.In truth, all of this Enlightened City is a garden of bliss and delight, merely by the presence of our Blessed Rasulullah SallAllahu alaihi wassalam. But the blog, a very sweet comment, but….ummmm??? A mere humble mumble!
You know we could be souls in those green birds if, as the narration says to the effect, we adopt one Sunnah into our life with steadfastness then we are given the rewards equivalent to one hundred martyrs! SubhanAllah! So if we decide to start practicing a Sunnah we have hitherto neglected then Insha’Allah we may be flying around the ‘Arsh as you say brother Ikramuddin. Let us all think of one to implement, Insha’Allah.
Wassalamu alaikum
