‘Aẓamat

‘Aẓamat1:
To The Blessed Beauty

When I read the sacred scriptures
revealed by the Blessed Beauty,
I hear the voice of God's Nightingale
singing in the Tree of Life,
and see the grandeur of the Abha realm
spread before my spirit's eyes.

As the splendor of morning
spreads across the firmament,
I intone God's Greatest Name:
“O Thou Glory of Glories!”

I meditation upon majesty
of the supreme Manifestation of God,
pick up my pen,
and attempt to describe
the greatness
of the divine dominion
in stanza and line.
