mawlidd

Round you the universe rotates,
From you I beg a kindly glance.
My knowledge, thought meditation are you,
My boat, ocean and storm are you.
The shrine of your street is my refuge, hopefully have I run unto you.
Ah! The agony of my body and soul,
A glance of yours is the sovereign remedy.
Like Busiri I beg deliverance from you,
That the day that was may never return again.
Your mercy on the sinners is greater,
In forgiveness it is like mother's love.

Allama Iqbal

Never shall anyone be disappointed
Never
Who comes with a true intention.

Golden Brown

There's something I really like about the feel of this song and video, not sure what.

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down WITH my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day

"In the end , its all about you, your grave, and Allah."
Shaykh Nuh

remembrance

"Do not leave the remembrance because of your lack of presence of heart with Allah therein, because your heedlessness of the remembrance of Allah is more harmful than your heedlessness during the remembrance of Allah. It may well be that He take you from remembrance in which there is heedlessness to remembrance in which there is consciousness; and from remembrance in which there is consciousness to remembrance in which there is presence of heart; and from remembrance in which there is presence of heart to remembrance in which there is oblviousness to all but the One Remembered, “And that is not difficult for Allah.”
— Ibn Ata’illah
