Swimming in tears remorseful
For the flesh is weak and man given to haste
Guest of the Beneficent is humbled
By feelings of smallness felt
Insignificant he’s for once lost
In an ocean of devotees
he looks towards the Lord
With heart longing for freedom
From a self to blunders given
Guests of the Beneficent are people
Pulled together by a Hand Powerful
Able to call whom He wills when
He wills
These beggars by the Door of the
Merciful
In tongues diverse cry
In sizes and hues various appear
But in unison they answer this
Call sublime
Joyful in a union at last made they chant
To the beat of a Truth long desired
Hajj is a time of repentance
An occasion of release in an ocean of tears
From the attachments to sin and wrong-doing
To the bonds of fellowship, hearts healing
These days of consoling, delivery
And hope elevated
The guest of the Beneficent returns not
home
But happy......!
