As we get weary of life’s strife, we find solace in the name of the Beloved, who is the mantra of joy and hope for us in both worlds
When I am fed up,
With this world,
And look for joy:
Your name is enough.
When doomed in sins,
Hands and heart stained,
And I look for hope:
Your name is enough.
When hungry for love,
When none to love,
I look for a beloved:
Your name is enough.
When I look up the sky,
And see no stars or moon,
I search for a thing of beauty:
Your name is enough.
When there is no rain,
And crops go dry,
I need a drop to quench:
Your name is enough.
When lost at crossroads,
None to fire my heart,
None to soothe my soul:
Your name is enough.
When we fall short,
Of heroes to lead,
In these terror times:
Your name is enough.
When trust betrayed,
All are from truth strayed,
We run out of guidance:
Your name is enough.
O Beloved!
You are life,
Your love is life,
Your name is life.
You give life to life.
Sallallahu ala Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi was sallam
