And so this traveller
Lost and weary wondering far from home
Came atlast upon your Caravanserai
And where the ocean meets the sea
In grief and anguish he did weep
So long I’ve wondered and yet still
I know not what I seek
And yet reflected in your eyes,
I see a truth that splits the night
So can you whisper to me,
The secret of what worship is
So you said “La Ilaha Il Allah”
( There’s no god but Allah)
Allahu… Allahu…
****
You cannot Worship until you Love
You cannot Love until you Feel
You cannot Feel until you Understand
You can’t Understand until you Learn
You cannot Learn until you have been found
Can’t be found until you seek
You will not seek nor find until you yearn
And you will not yearn until you Remember
So remember “La ilaha il Allah”
(There’s no god but Allah)
Allahu… Allahu…
****
The traveller’s heart stood and awoke
And born alloft on wings of hope
Beheld a deeper mystery
glimmering beneath your words
He cast himself before your feet and
Know that that of which you speak
Cannot be found by seeking
but only Seekers find it
Yet in the footsteps that you make
I see the path that I must take
So may I follow you and
Learn the secret that you keep
You said Remember and you will Yearn
Yearn and you will Seek
Seek, seek, you will be found
And when you’re found then you will Learn
When you Learn then you will Understand
Understand and you will Feel
When you Feel him, then you will Love
And when you Love, then you will Worship,
Then you’ll Worship “La ilaha il Allah”
(There’s no god but Allah)
Allahu… Allahu…
