To Abode of Eternity:By Shaykh Syed Salih Al'jAfri(rahimahumullah)

To the abode of eternity we have come And the elect one we have visited And in the Garden we have prayed And we have seen Rasulallah. I saw the people in droves The sea of their love surge like waves The tears of longing like cool rain All in love with Rasulillah So we visited him the Pure-hearted Of greatest rank and nearness to Allah Whoever bears him loyal love Becomes filled with Rasulillah Seeing him is joy followed by joy While incense wafts and overflows There the people of love reveal their states And Rasulullah pardons them Light surrounds us the secret is revealed Goodness arrives piety is achieved The people of Allah are fed and quenched By witnessing Rasulallah The night of separation is gone away The morning of connection dawns to stay The light of al-Mustafa highlights Our foremost guide Rasulallah Drinks of paradise go round from hand to hand And in the cups lights overflow And with this drink perfumed and filled Rasulullah is quenching us The hearts obtain what they had hoped When they visit after their pilgrimage One throng after another says Salaamun Ya Rasulallah See them in their place of prayer The God of the Throne giving them gifts Habibullah is meeting them They visited Rasulallah Gifts of forgiveness and secrets For whoever visits al-Mustafa Upon them glow sparkles of light Coming from the Guide Rasulillah The armies of nafs went away The moons of guidance have risen Rain-clouds hail filled with good For the visitors of Rasulillah The sun of religion guides us To the Creator who made us Rasulullah is calling us We have come Ya Rasulallah The beauty of al-Mustafa shows Welcoming us and cheering us It has perfumed the soul of this valley We have witnessed Rasulallah We have obtained intimacy By Divine grace without the veils We visited the Arabian liegelord Abu al-Qasim Rasulallah Souls are swayed by their Creator Before the Chosen One their guide They have received their dearest hopes At witnessing Rasulallah We left love of all that perishes, At al-Mustafa’s doorstep we arrived The connection of hearts is sealed With the guide Rasulillah The Gardens of Paradise we obtained By coming and greeting TaHa The soul of love enlivened them With help from Rasulillah The blessings of Allah like rain On the Elect of highest fame And Companions all radiant chiefs And the House of Rasulillah For as long as al-Ja’fari writes And al-Mustafa’s praise is sung, And the faces of lovers beam With light from Rasulillah!
