Traveling Light…

Allah humma ihdina assirata al mustaqeem ya allah

Traveling on

Traveling light

Through the hills and valleys of my life

On this journey

This is pathless pathway

Never knowing when the end will come

Traveling light, baring answers, to the questions that I don’t yet know

Like a fragrance that has lost its flower,

I try to find my way back home

I have tasted something of Your love,

A nameless restlessness fills me

In my silences as I still hear Your voice echoing

Qun fidduniya ka anna ka Gareebun au abeerus sabeel

Live this life like wayfarer journeying

Like a stranger on his way back home

Traveling light

Trying to break the shackles that bind me to the things tempting me to stay

But the truly precious is as light as a feather and all else is memory that fades away

Traveling on, just like a river flowing past hearts more unmoving than a mountain stone

Why do you flow they say?

And where are you going?

Onwards ever onwards to the sea and home

Like a broken circle searching for that which will make me whole again

All this flowing streams yearning for the sea and UNITY

And UNITY

Allahumma ihdina assiratul mustaqeem ya allah

Waqallim kulu bana lillama tuhibbu fa ilaikal maseer un Rabbana…

Kun fi dunya kanaka galebun au abi ru raseebil

Live this life like wayfarer journeying

Like a stranger on his way back home

Traveling on

Traveling Light

A song of days and seasons

Springfall and winter

Like the day and the night

For with hope and fear

Of Patience and thankfulness

It’s the way that leads to paradise

Life goes on like a stream ever flowing

To the horizon on it’s winding way

Reluctantly joyfully you choose how you journey

But know that all rivers meet the sea one day

Every time I think I understand I touch a deeper mystery still

And in wonder my heart expands at Your INFINITY

Your INFINITY

Qun fidduniya ka anna ka Gareebun au abeerus sabeel

Live this life like wayfarer journeying

Like a stranger on his way back home
