O’er waiting tasbih in my mind

Islamic

O’er waiting tasbih in my mind
there sweeps a power
Illumined thoughts that comes to man
each waiting hour

And o’er the angry waves of life
A man does walk
Though gone from sight through writings still
He comes and talks

Then His perfumed, sweet presence shows
a truer sight
With Kissed Koran, I wake to know
A world more bright

With tired limbs and burdened heart
Its hard to see
Where you are my dear Messiah
I long to be

Your lamp of truth it guides my boat
Upon Life's shore,
The waves and tides that once did shock,
Oh, nevermore!

And now a white-winged angel comes
and wipes my tears
I kiss my pain and praise Allah
Who’s ever near
