O flash of light, in the flow of time
O sweet Medinan beloved of mine
I speak with you in broken words
With a broken heart, and a broken rhyme
My life is you, and my love is you
My connection to The Lord above is you
My means to earn His love is you
My cure from distress and dismay

More generous there's never been
More beautiful was never seen
I surrender at your doorstep
All my dunya and my deen
O one who came to The Merciful's sight
O and He said, "Let there be light"
Convey my broken-hearted plight
That a glance of mercy be cast my way

No eye has seen such beauty as thine
No dame has borne such a one so fine
You're created free of flaw
As if by your own design
May The Lord, upon you, send His peace
Salutations, blessings, that never cease
And to us a gentle breeze
That makes us weep our nights away
