How long I have ached with longing for you, O Light of existence
Calling out, O Tihami (Prophet Muhammad) O spring-source of all generosity
I have been waiting for you for so long
My soul and body are suffering and in pain from being far from you
Every second my breath remembers you
Listen to my words, O my Beloved
My aspiration, my deepest desire, is to reach the station of witnessing, and be in your presence
And to see the Gate of Peace before me, O you of purest lineage
These eyes want to see you
These hands want to touch you
Although in this world I am not able to do so
But in eternal Paradise I hope to meet you
And upon you God has sent peace, My Lord, the Majestic
My Master, life has passed me by and I’ve become old. So, out of your generosity, grant me – grant me the union I seek!
Allah's blessing be unto you O light of my heart
With the peace & blessings we send upon you the heart and soul become bright
My wish is for Allah to grant me in my dream
To meet my Beloved before my last breath
How long I have ached with longing for you, O Light of existence
Calling out, O Tihami (Prophet Muhammad) O spring-source of all generosity
