I'd Sacrifice My Soul for You

One day in my sleep

In my slumber longing grew

I was enveloped by

Your vision, O Messenger of God!

Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!

My yearning transcends all bounds

My eyes hope for the sight of you

My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you

His apparition embraced my heart

My hand melted in his

My eyes called out to him

And his splendor touched my heart

Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!

My yearning transcends all bounds

My eyes hope for the sight of you

My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you

His pool is quenching and abundant 1

One sip like medicine to me

Quench my thirst my beloved!

O Healer of Creation!

You are my balm and cure

Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!

My yearning transcends all bounds

My eyes hope for the sight of you

My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you

1. It's believed that Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) will have a pool in the Day of Judgment when the sun is so close to earth and the weather is too hot, so that he and his followers can drink from. The pool called (Kawthar) as well as his river in Janna (Heaven/Paradise). This is as explained by our religious books in Islam.
