Sunshine, Dust and the Messenger ^_^

A beautiful nasheed from DawudWharnsby Ali, I love 'em lyrics. :)

Sunshine, Dust and the Messenger

Morning light through the bedroom window.

Slow motion dust specks swirling in the sun.

I close my eyes,

and I’m floating along.

Sun - did you warm the face of the Prophet

the way you warm mine and make this room glow?

Dust - were you brushed from the beard of the Prophet,

Returning from Jihad, so long ago?

اللهم صل علي محمد

يا رب علمىن

اللهم صل علي محمد

صلى الله عليه وسلم

Rain pouring down upon my garden,

rhythm for the wind that sings his song.

I close my eyes

and I’m drumming along.

Rhythm of rain - were you once a river,

that purified the Prophet before his prayers?

Wind - were you a breath form the lips of the Prophet

carrying wisdom to thirsty ears?

اللهم صل علي محمد

يا رب علمىن

اللهم صل علي محمد

صلى الله عليه وسلم

Sharp, clear crescent, light in the blue night.

Slipping in silence through a star scattered sky.

I close my eyes

and I know that I belong.

Were you the same moon that lit the way of the Prophet,

slipping through the desert on his Hijrah?

Stars did you map the way to Madinah,

for the blessed Messenger of Allah?

اللهم صل علي محمد

يا رب علمىن

اللهم صل علي محمد

صلى الله عليه وسلم

I close my eyes,

and I’m floating along.

I close my eyes

and I’m drumming a song.
