HERITAGE
Al Andalus
Verse 1:
I’m walkin’ miles
Feelin’ kind of blue!
I left my heart...
In Al Andalus!
Losin’ our culture
’Till they come home to roost!
So much we discover
When we dig up our roots!
My brothers and sisters
Return to the Truth!
Remember the greatness
Our souls once knew!
Tastebuds
Sweetened by date palms...
And faith in our hearts
Now we’re pickin’ up shards ’cause...
We lost unity...
Just another word
For the love between you and me!
Communicatin’ fluently...
Reflectin’ what is true in me...
“Want for your brother
What you want for yourself”
Can it truly be?
It’s no good on our lips
If it ain’t in our hearts!
We can fool ourselves
But can never fool God!
Cherisher...
Of the sun, moon, and stars!
Humility to serve...
The Greatest cause!
Showered in Forgiveness
For our greatest flaws!
Prayin’ we’re delivered to Truth
From the false!
Take heed of Wisdom...
The jewels and pearls!
Everything here
Between heaven and earth
Is a sign to be read...
Like death and birth!
No wonder we’re affected
By every verse!
Like thunder in our chests
When lightenin’ bursts!
Signs on the horizon
Will unfold…
Verse 2:
I smell beautiful scents
In the courtyard!
Jasmine, rose, pomegranate, and citrus...
Lamps on the city street
Spread over distance!
Coolness in the air
And a natural mystic...
Laughter, poetry, praise to the One!
Bowin’ our heads
With the rays of the sun!
Knowledge, art...
Social justice!
Sweetness gushin’
Like honey from the comb!
Tears from the stones
That weep for Beauty!
Pinin’ in the moonlight
With lips that undo me...
“I was a hidden treasure
Longing to be known”
Standin’ in the true Light
Shinin’ right...
Through!
Verse 3:
Aromas like ’Oud...
Frankincense, myrrh...
A prayerful mood
When it’s time to observe...
The miracle birth
Of the spirit unearthed!
Openin’ the heart...
Bismillah!
Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
W’ Alhamdulilah!
I want to smell your fragrance
Once again!
To me you are ageless
Always been...
A place in my heart
That’s a premium blend...
I mean things fall apart
But can steal your breath!
For a moment in time...
Lifted up high!
Every Spring has a Fall
But it lingers on the mind...
I remember you!
And your beautiful eyes!
Your castles of love...
On the hills In the sky!
Swirlin’ with calligraphy
Sacred energy!
Keepin’ a stronghold...
Against the enemy!
On this long road
You’re a golden friend to me…
A beacon of Light
Between the devil and the blue sea!
