Ajwah

Khalid Mukhtar · September 24, 2015 · Leave a Comment

My Lord, send forth Your Prayers and Peace
And Blessings on those hands
That pressed the saplings of release
Into submitting sands,

And like the spring abundant flowed
Beneath his father’s heel,
You’ve blessed these palms that his palms sowed;
This son of Isma’eel

And all of matter he did touch,
And all that he did say,
Proclaim the highest Truth with such
Serenity, I pray:

My Lord, increase the ones who tend,
And buy and sell and touch
The ajwah palms that well extend
The fruit we love so much;

My Lord, increase my host who gives
Me so much from his share
Of barakah that lives and lives
As long as you declare.
