In the Name of Allah

In the name of Allah we are born

In His name we live

and in His name we die

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>
Our shadows prostrate to their Creator morning

evening without our consent Birds

and animals usher in the times of prayer

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>
Birds circumambulate the Ka'ba while

migrating birds stretch forth their wings

finding their way by Allah's Mercy

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>
Only to feel unrest and leave once more ever-searching,

traveling discontent until they die

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>
We, also wander some blindly while others see

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>
