Paradise is the least a lover can demand in the name of the Beloved whom the Almighty endears the most— suggests the reckless Jaihoon.
YOU revealed to endear him so high
YOU confessed to him beyond the Sidra-sky
YOU demand the cosmos to hold him nigh
YOU reward the one who in his love cry
Glory be to Thee!
None like to us as Thee!
Cuffed with pain
Puffed with pride
In the name of Beloved Meem
Have I the right to any favor name
The least, then, I could ask Thee
Is in Paradise a throne for me.
