Take Them Home….

Priceless pearls You have scattered around the globe,

hiding they are in, with humility inside their robes.

You use their glow to illuminate the world,

but they desire to live in the brightest soil on earth…

Day by day their yearning for it grows,

yet You decide the right time to take them to their homes.

Their love for it is sharper than the swords,

it may cut their hearts - as time goes.

They are lonely indeed inside their own strange shell,

but they are not really alone because You Sustain them well.

Their souls go searching from place to place,

of others who are the same in shine and grace…

All this is because of the thirst for Your dheen,

till You gather them in the land of Your Habeeb.

Their hearts are filled with love and pain,

for Your Beloved Prophet Who there - remain…

Take them home, O The Merciful One!

as they please You, do please them soon by time to come.

In the Land of the Prophet - the Land of Light,

reside them there forever, until You raise them with Your Might.

Take them home, O The Generous One!

Grant their wish to rest by the side of Your Chosen One…
