The Ecstatic Name

The moment lovers overhear the mention of their Beloved, their hearts overwhelm with ecstasy unable to bear the bliss

No sooner the body heard
‘Meem,’
The soul swung:
“Mmm…”

Hey, Heaven’s Beloved!
Your evergreen thoughts
Make me crazy;
Your praised name
Gives much ecstasy.

Be it the spring of joy
Or the season of cry

When arrives the blessed moment,
About you one makes a comment:

My half-opened eyes close,
Unable to bear the brutal bliss.

My lips then move
At a moderate pace:
“Upon Muhammad be
Blessings and peace.”
