Your Name is Enough

As we get weary of life’s strife, we find solace in the name of the Beloved, who is the mantra of joy and hope for us in both worlds

When I am fed up,
With this world,
And look for joy:
Your name is enough.

When doomed in sins,
Hands and heart stained,
And I look for hope:
Your name is enough.

When hungry for love,
When none to love,
I look for a beloved:
Your name is enough.

When I look up the sky,
And see no stars or moon,
I search for a thing of beauty:
Your name is enough.

When there is no rain,
And crops go dry,
I need a drop to quench:
Your name is enough.

When lost at crossroads,
None to fire my heart,
None to soothe my soul:
Your name is enough.

When we fall short,
Of heroes to lead,
In these terror times:
Your name is enough.

When trust betrayed,
All are from truth strayed,
We run out of guidance:
Your name is enough.

O Beloved!

You are life,
Your love is life,
Your name is life.
You give life to life.
