Mahboubi Taha-l Ghali

My Master Aḥmad, Muḥammad, God send prayers upon you!
You through whom the heart finds strength, and on whom it has been raised.
Don’t deny me, Muḥammad, your radiant face!
You catch me weary eyed, still waiting to catch a glimpse of you.
And the place is all prepared for you, waiting for your arrival.
I thought you would come and return yet alas!
You have not returned, your majesty! May God be pleased with you!
I go on throughout the days, ‘If only I could be in your presence!’
And my time will come, without a doubt, so I leave it to you.
You know my nature is to be determined. Am I going to fall short when it comes to you?
By God, I continue to send prayers upon you.
If I were to live forever, I would never give up on you.
That perhaps by that I might witness your radiant face.
God forbid, al-ʿAlawī would ever give up desiring you.
This is my belief, Muḥammad, and so I leave it to you.
After this praise, I remain on the lookout, when I am asleep, I watch out for you.
Until I saw you, my Master Muḥammad. May God reward you!
Except that you remain elusive and apprehensive. I will not bother you.
You know my deeds are corrupt. It does not escape you.
Yet the surgeon strives as you well know.
You must seek me out today so I can find solace in you.
Alas! I will not stop seeking you until I claim you
Up until now I have shown such patience! Enough now!
Of your qualities is that you are gentle with the infidel perhaps they might open up to you.
And here I am a Muslim that bears witness to you. I bear no doubts.
No doubt, no wavering, I only see One. My connection to you should suffice.
Does it not please you that I am a Sufi and a believer in God’s oneness? I am a product of your craft.
Assess me! Take my company and you will find that I would give up my soul for you!
I would prepare private quarters for you, for you alone.
In a place free of any clutter.
I would lay down a cushions filled with wool that would be fit for you to recline on.
Carpets laid out with vibrant colours and veils that protect your privacy.
Aloes wood mixed with the finest aromas burnt for you, carrying a scent that envelops you.
Well provided, comfortable and aired with a fan whilst an attendee fills your cup
With a sweet drink scented with rose. I think you will find it to your liking.
Whatever you seek you will find exactly as you like, brought before you.
Does it not please you that I am your slave from birth in the house of the King?
Proficient prepared and ready, devoted to your cause.
I know you love to worship in this world and the next.
I have prepared a place of worship where you can spend the night in devotion and I’ll be back in the early dawn.
I will bring you an ornamented pitcher for you to perform your ablutions.
I’ll accompany you to the door of the mosque with my hand in yours.
I’ll protect you from any bother on the way. I’ll put myself between you and it.
How glorious you are! You are the very spirit of this body! Even glory attends to you!
If I could put you into antimony, I would immerse my eyelids in you.
This is my state and my Lord is my witness. I have not exaggerated.
Source of all mercy! Muḥammad, may God send prayers to you!

Dil Ko Agar Nazm  By Qari Salahudeen

This is a set of lyrics that I've been trying to set a tune to, for well over 3 years now.It was originally intended to be on the first album, but to a very different tune.It's a good thing I waited - this is the most satisfied I've been.

The lyrics were originally composed by Shaykh Abdul-Hakeem Murad and he had titled the poem as "Lamiyyat Al Ajam".Those who know what a "Lamiyya" is, will get the subtle wit of his title.

This recording was done to test out the sound setup at the new SeekersHub (http://seekershub.org) in Mississauga, Ontario.I've used a wired Shure SM-58 microphone, plugged into a Fender Passport 500 PA system - probably the best one there is for a musician on the road, in the affordable range.

It was recorded on Shaykh Faraz's iPhone 4 as a movie.I extracted the sound file in Apple's GarageBand, added in a "Live Performance" affect, and voila.
