Hey angels!
Allah has created you,
To obey His Commands.

You are creatures of light,
Endowed with power, might.

Do you remember
Those bygone days?
The Green Dome,
At a distance.

I sat and cried from my bilaad:
On the Last Day I shall be glad.

Lord ordered you
To carry my salaam
So far, you’ve conveyed
Without any sham.

Saying,

“Here is a gift,
Hey Hijazi Beloved
It’s from Jaihoon,
A Hindi walad“.

But in this blessed moment:
May I make a selfish comment?

Please step aside!
For this son of Adam—
To greet alone
The hero of twin Alam.

I now stand beside the Habeeb,
Who hears the sinful gareeb.

Therefore, make way;
For my selfish love—
Without any means
It shall flow.

Tell me, hey Jibreel,

Which selfish lover
Can accommodate
Even the dust—
Between to mediate?

He wants to directly communicate:
The entire pain, passionate.

Tell me, hey Jibreel,
Did you not
Obediently move aside
After a while,
On the heavenly ride?

Ah! For now,
For now, this sinner too
Is in his Miraj,
Towards the love
Of the Heavenly Siraj.
