So that man had been
exhilarated
His hand the praised one
had held
I swear by Allah, I truly
love you
Words from the noble mouth
came
If wishes were words, if
they were words
These words would have
been mine
Again from the lips of the
blessed mouth
Such was he, full of love
Such was he, a teacher of
love
Such was he, a man loved
to the brim
Salaam and Rahma upon him
should rain
Who are they better than
the Prophets, the martyrs?
Yet will they not the
lovers admire?
The lovers who in them run
different blood
The lovers who in trade go
separate ways
Yet in the love of
al-Wadud they melt
In His love, they stand on
the same plane
Their light, one like no
other
Their shade, the shade of
ar-Rahmaan
And when the man the
journey had taken
To a brother he had gone
No benefits but love
fiisabilillaah
Then came the message from
his Lord
So does al-Khabeer love
you
Such was the teachings of
a man, lovely
Salaam and Rahma upon him
should rain
And that man for whom it
was said again and again
That is a man of Jannah!
The praised one had said,
the companion believed
Yet he was a man not
extraordinary in worship
Yet the beauty of his
heart this shine brought
He would not evil wish a
brother
He would not a grudge hold
against another
He slept, his heart full
of love, no hatred
Such was the teaching of a
man, blessed
Such were the companions
of a man, bright
Salaam and Rahma upon him
should rain
Shall we not for this
light strive?
Shall we not for this
shade long?
Would you then love me but
true?
Would you then love me but
for His sake?
Would you then love me a
different blood?
Would we then our hearts
purify?
Would we then this grudge
kill?
For that light, that
shade, that love
Such was the teaching of a
man, adored
Such was a man, the best
model
Salaam and Rahma upon him
should rain
This is the nobility about
which I sing
This is the nobility I
live to praise
This is the nobility whose
love drunken me
This is the nobility I
wish to see
This is the nobility I
pray to touch
Salaam and Rahma upon him
should rain
