Guest of the Beneficent
Is a bare-footed beggar
A poor thing invited by One Rich and
Mighty
To answer the call of a lifetime,
a pledge made to God.
Guest of the Beneficent is a humble
follower
Of a humble prophet, himself a follower
In the footsteps of his father Ibrahim (AS),
For the first to make the call
was Ibrahim (AS)
To this house of God and from
him sprang
Prophets by the Beneficent
blessed, chosen.
Guest of the Beneficent on the path
Of such a one blessed
with modest walks
All pretense and ornaments shed
Eyes fixed heart trembling hands raised
A willing guest in tears drenched
The guest is a single entity in a sea of guests
