Like a fly attracted to the emitting rays of a light bulb
How vast and penetrating is its ultimate essence
So beautiful and full of perfection that the lustful gaze continues
One becomes lost and full of awe
A feeling so deep and innumerable that all thoughts of consciousness and awareness just slip away in to the timeless beauty of the day

As the fly reproaches to be closer to this illumination of light
Its inferiority in comparison is so apparent
How needy the position how desperate for fulfilment, how weak a soul
But in this journey it seems life may truly disappear and the reality of death is as cold as a stone.

How wistfully the gaze continues, the desires and intensity of the longing for a single taste gets stronger, almost unbearable
Now the whole world has been abandoned all those hopes, dreams and attraction lost, for now the eye, heart and every limb has found something to enjoin everlasting
Unable to comprehend to grasp the reality, but explanations don’t matter, just for an inclinations my way is all that I truly require

As the light becomes more abundant and within a short distance the slow buzzing sound of the wings gets louder and reaches a climax as the heart is now so heavy as if it’s going to drop
Scared to continue and scared not to continue for now true fulfilment is within grasp, but the short fallings of the self are visible, how unworthy
So much mercy is given, for despite the blackness of sins, I made it so far, where so many cease to exist

As the light is touched a surge of pain jolts the whole body, for the incomprehension is so vast and the status so low
It really is too much for an inferior and feeble mind to take in
As the withstanding of such power requires real purification, aware of my position tears stroll, for all I want is just another taste.

Feeling the pain and yet the longing still strong for now I have had a single sip of delight
Whereas before it was the imagination that took carried me in to the light
But how unexplainable the reality was, so many more times greater than could have been imagined
Now this soul can no longer rest as the yearning for a second meeting is so intense

Aware of the pain and hardship endured, this is no barrier between us for this is the reality of life, and self purification is obtained through the endurance of tribulations and effort.

As I touch upon the surface, I feel my life falling away, so happy a moment, so ecstatic a soul and how suffice an end
For now I am in the arms of My Beloved (Salallahu alaihi wasalaam), left in the light
My final moment was in the depths of the highest essence of man, still withered away but unable to grasp
As I wait for now the meeting will be inevitable and that day which is sure to come, to be awoken once again in the depths of the arms and love that I dies

SUBHANALLAH
