They saw you and they fell in love
Their hearts a-flight, they soared above
I missed the chance to see your face
My soul, my heart, roams out-of-place
I lost you to the tides of time
I missed my chance to make you mine
Our distance breaks my heart in two
I plot a course – a way to you
I sail to you from my heart’s shore
The winds, they rage; the waters roar
The reefs of time halt every flow
The journey ends with time’s death-blow
I send to you a dove in flight
Upon your heart, God’s peace alight
I send to you my heart in flight
Upon your heart, God’s grace alight
You turn my way – all things efface
The winds and waves – all bow in grace
You gaze my way – all things efface
My self, my heart – all bow in grace
My name soars from your blessed lips
And in that kiss, all seas eclipse
And in that kiss, may all eclipse
Al-salāmu ‘alayka, Ya Rasūlullāh.
