How shall I Greet Your Beloved Great?

The poet is in two minds whether to approach the Beloved Meem robed as a royal or ragged as a beggar, in these verses written at Medina.

How shall I Greet Your Beloved Great?

Shall I roll on the ground
Or stroll barefooted

Blush like a bride
Or run like a madman

Creep as a snail
Or race like a flash

Refined as a Saint
Or guilty as a sinner?

Sober as a sage
Or playful as a child?

Robed as a royal
Or ragged as a beggar?

Restrain my heart:
Let flow as a river

Or liberate my passion:
Let erupt as a volcano?

O the Most Loving
The All Knowing

How shall I greet
Your Beloved great?
In his city bright
Where love is alight

Ratings & Reviews

  • Very few are actually blessed to keep the intellectual flame & passion burning within them, Sir. But to let that creative stream flow is an arduous task. And yours MashaAllah, is a spiritual stream. What can be more beautiful than that!! And who can be more fortunate than us readers to treat our eyes to the flowing rivers of Allah\'s & his Rasool\'s praises. Your words are illuminated by your divinity, Sir. The complete submission to Almighty & his grace, his sublime creations & his soft yet powerful presence, love & magnanimity are all for us to embrace.
