Song

bismi’llah ir-rahman ir-rahim

Just one thing I want from this earth;

To see Your face.

I do not want to pray to You for fear of the fire,

But I see God,

So I sing to You.

All that I need is to see

You are beautiful,

In my ears, my eyes, my heart.

All this world, it does not matter to me where to be,

Just if I have You.

What is important to me is this,

Just to have a little of Your love, not more.

I know exactly what is the end of this earth;

But the world which I want to live for,

That is my love for You and Your love for me.

That is heavenly love

I am born for, I live for; I will travel to it.

I will not say, I die

Because I return to this earth and to You.

Everything dies for You.

For that, I ask You to be to me always, my love.

And to all who are Your family.

And send them to Your station

Which is the aim of all this earth, for all living here.

for Your whole world.

And those are Your nearest children,

Close to You and for You, not more

And that is all that I need of Your name,

I sing always, forever.

by Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhuli,
Guide of the Shadhuliyya Sufi Order and The University of Spiritual Healing & Sufism, and Head of the Higher Sufi Counselor in Jerusalem, from his book, Music of the Soul.

Oh to be in LOVE…

…with The Essence of the One.
