Analysis of The Decoration of Almighty's Door
Blaal Qayyum 1985 (Lancashire)
The Decoration of Almighty’s Door
Muhammad’s (SAW) light bears the sweetest perfume,
Under this fountain your fresh orchids bloom
Singing sweet songs of love and spreading truth,
Throughout the earth, to the old and the youth.
A legacy (of your blessed saintly life),
Naturally lives on with your graces.
In your deep love shine so many faces
Reverberating your call to Zikr.
A farewell, orchestrated by Allah (SWT),
Hearty thanks to your majesty, always.
My dear each moment is in your praise
Even on your remnants O dear saint,
Do we suffice and the lovers acquaint.
