Poem Of The DAy 29 June 2008
“Sunshine, Dust and the Messenger (SAW)” by Dawud Wharnsby Ali
Sunshine, Dust and the Messenger (SAW)
Morning light through the bedroom window
Slow motion dust specks swirling in the sun
I close my eyes
And I'm floating along
Sun did you warm the face of the Prophet the way you warmed mine
And make this room glow?
Dust were you brushed from the beard of the Prophet
Returning from Jihad so long ago?
Chorus: Allahumma swalli ala Muhammad Ya rabbal aalameen
Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad, Swalallahu alayhi wasallam
Rain pouring down upon my garden
Rhythm for the wind that sings his song
I close my eyes
And I'm drumming along
Rhythm of rain were you once a river
That purified the Prophet before his prayers?
Were you the breath from the lips of the Prophet
Carrying wisdom to thirsty ears?
Chorus
Sharp clear crescent lighting the blue night
Slipping in silence through the star scattered sky
I close my eyes
And I know that I belong
Were you the same moon that lit the way of the Prophet
Slipping through the desert on his hijra?
Stars did you map the way to Madina
For the blessed messenger of Allah?
Chorus
And I close my eyes
And I'm floating along
And I close my eyes
(salallhu alyhi wasallam)
And I'm drumming along
And I close my eyes
And I know that I belong
