Muslim's heart,

Lord, fill the Muslim's heart
With a desire so fervent
That it will set his heart aflame
And stir his soul. Light up again every speck of dust
In the Valley of Faran.
Make us long again for beautiful sights,
And create in us the urge to make demands. Give piercing vision
To those deprived of sight,
And show to others what I have seen. Lead the stray gazelle back to
the Sanctuary.
It has grown used to the city --
Give it back the vastness of the desert.
Stir up again the ruins of the heart.
With a commotion like Judgement Day. Let this empty litter once again seat
A sweetheart - a Layla! In the darkness of this age give
To every troubled heart
Scrs of love that would shame the moon.
Let the goals be as high as the Pleiades.
Give us the calm and poise of the shore,
But the freedom of the sea. Let love be selfless
and truth fearless;
Let our breasts be flooded with light --
Make our hearts clear as crystal.
Enable us to forsee the calamity that is coming;
In the midst of today's upheaval Give us a vision of tomorrow. I am a
nightingale making my lament,
I am from a garden which has been ravaged.
I wish that my prayer would have effect --
Give to a beggar, bounteous Lord!!
