My heart cries out to YOU
YOUR divine benevolence I feel coursing through my veins
While the Imam recites your words
my heart can only surrender to the truth
transmitted from your verses
Your words, recited with sincerity
are heard with a certain longing
yet understood with clear meaning
My heart resonates with forgotten emotions
My eyes can no longer bear its burden
Flow, my tears, flow
As my whole existence in the shape of a man
prostrating to YOUR divine greatness
I am transfixed on the beauty of the divine truth
herewith I feel complete
All my actions and words
suddenly bear meaning
I feel the significance of each breath
I feel your love in each word
This is what life should feel like
As I bid As-Salaamu Alaykum,
my tears did not stop
Partly because
I briefly felt what it is to be loved by YOU;
and I fear
I may never feel as close to YOU ever again
Yet most of all
because
even when I came to YOU
consumed by desire
engulfed in sin
lost in the ocean we call life
I know that YOU had loved me
all this while, unconditionally
Flow my tears, flow
may each drop redeem me
let me forget no longer
Flow my tears, flow
only with YOU this slave is free
