Song of an Angel

Hope ,where are you ..all forgotten ....the last straw slipping away
dreams where are you…all forgotten .....by the first light of the day
no time to hold on 
what can come will be gone
like the song of angel that comes unexpectedly to catch the ear
the song of an angel that comes when you’re open to hear

the songs of forgiveness the songs of delight
the songs that have reached us in the darkest of night
while the flame that is burning the sound that is heard 
comes only from one source alone
ooh... send me an angel

You and I

Happy is the moment when we sit together
with two forms , two faces yet one soul
You and I
the flowers they will sing forever 
the birds will sing their eternal song
the moment we enter the garden 
you and I
the stars of heaven will come out to watch us 
and we will show them the light of the full moon
you and I
no more thought of you
no more thought of I ,just this precious moment
no more thought of you
no more thought of I, no more thought
joyous alive free of mind ,
you and I
all the bright winged birds of heaven
will swoop down to drink from our sweet water
the tears of our laughter
you and I
what a miracle of fate us sitting here 
even at the opposite end of the earth 
we are still together you and I

Loose yourself

You’re the call of the rising sun
you’re the light of the full moon 
you’re the seeker you’re the goal , the seeking itself
blazing like a fire in every heart

there was a time we lost ourselves in others
a time we ate the best food 
there was a time we relied on intellect
a time we looked for future
but all this had no value in the end
For a mouthful of food and bitter herbs
we went everywhere ,made so many plans
one day it was Rome the next day Africa, 
we entered a raging battlefield,.. for what?
a few crumbs of bread

Now stay with this silence a while
I once ran toward the knowledge of this world
now the papers are packed the pens are broken
Oh, waiter ,bring on wine

Knock and he will open the door
vanish ..he will shine like the sun
fall .. and he will raise you to heaven
become nothing, he will turn you into everything

Loose yourself in this love, I swear there is no other way

I’ll meet you there 

All day and all night music
a quiet bright song 
if it fades, we fade
Out beyond ideas of doing right or wrong
there is a field, I meet you there
when the soul lies down in this grass
the world is too full to talk about
I’ll meet you there
Out beyond ideas of being right or wrong
there is a field I meet you there
Ideas and language even the phrase: each other
does not make any sense at all
I’ll meet you there

Totally

I like to connect with you somehow
and I know the only moment is now
so if you want to sing along come pick a tune
I’m sure you’ll pick it up soon.-Totally , water flows totally 
wind blows totally
fire burns totally
-The bird flies gently on the wind it makes no effort at all
-Totally surrendered, totally at ease,
totally enraptured with what is

I let what comes come ,
I let what goes go,
I remain in the emptiness free
I let go of any thought of who i think I am
I remain in the emptiness free
I let go grasping for experience
I let go the need to understand
I remain in the emptiness free

I am freedom I am peace I am not that ,I am not this
I live in the garden of the wondrous one
where all these words turn into silence

At home

Take me into the spheres of music, I’m at home there
Take me into the spheres of silence, I at home there
Take me into this very moment, I am at home here
At home, finally at home

Shimmering Rays

The world dances around the sun
the morning light breaks spinning up with delight
how can anybody, touched by this love
not dance like a weeping willow

Like sun shine it will
like the atoms spin he will
like the breeze of spring love sways the earth gently
every branch that is not dead dance it will

Your love has filled me with a fire
no one could ever know
your gaze enchanted my heart with a poem
noone could ever write

The Sufi is dancing from dusk ‘toil dawn
like the shimmering rays of the sun

Rhythm of our hearts


Love and gratitude is our calling now, oh beloved
The light of your face illuminates the Universe
and from this light in all ages you have taken form
you shape the destiny of every soul 
and every night you bring another joy another celebration

You’re in the rhythm of our hearts now
A thousand hearts of gratitude
receive the touch of your light 
the dancing lovers joyous call echoes in waves of delight
You will dance forever as the rhythm of our hearts

I rejoice

The morning light breaks through the clouds
the birds are jubilating out loud
all of existence takes a moment of the day
to send good vibrations and love your way
and I join into the great flow of delight

There’s wings attached to my heart today
they lift the spirit make me sing and play
I bow to you in gratitude and I rejoice
I take this chance to make a joyful noise
Thank you for the love you make me feel

Now I wish you Happy Birthday
from the bottom of my heart
may your every moment be in essence a new start
laughter happiness and goodness 
may they be your closest friends
and may the golden light within you shine forever without end

I rejoice in waves of your love
I rejoice in the stars above
I rejoice in the roaring thunder of your song

It’s a blessing

The great spring has come
your sweet air blowing through the city
,the country, the gardens and the deserts is a blessing
Caught in this body we look for a sight of the soul
Remember what the prophet said:
One glimpse is a Blessing

There’s no I only you
There’s no you only Love
All of nature swings in delight singing without tongues
listening without ears. it’s a blessing
The brilliant sun the golden light that shines in every heart
for heavens earth and creatures all; what a blessing
I bow to you for the dust of your feet is the crown on my head
as I walk toward you ,every step I take is a blessing
The heart can’t wait to speak of this 
the soul is kissing the earth
whirling twirling, giving thanks ;what a blessing
Fill me with the wine of your silence
let it soak my every pour
for the inner splendor it reveals is a blessing

I’m here to wake up to this day
I’m here to dance the clouds away
I’m here to live and sing my song
and disappear into the Blessed one

Who am I

What is to be done oh brother
I do not know who I am 
What is to be done oh sister
I do not know who I am
I’m not a Christian, not a Jew, I’m not a Buddhist or a Hindu..
I’m not the king nor the beggar, I’m not of substance nor of form
I’m not from India not from china, 
I'm not from the east, not from the west
I’m not from this world or the next,
I’m not from heaven not from hell. 
I’ve cast away all differences now I see the two worlds as one
I call ,I seek ,I know I am only one
Now I know you and you alone
Drunk from the wine of the cup of love
the two worlds have slipped from my reach
I have nothing left to do here save drink your wine and dance with delight
Oh I’m so drunk on your love ;I have lost this entire world
Besides the sweet taste of your wine
I have no tale left to tell

My mouth may be open and words may come out
but you are every sweet song of mine

So do not think that the drop alone becomes the ocean
the ocean too becomes the drop!!

I call the spirit

I call the spirit of the night 
I call the spirit of the day
I call the spirit of the unseen 
I call the spirit of the way I call the spirit of love

I call the spirit of the sun/the moon/ the desert/the jungle I call the spirit of love
fire/ water air earth I call the spirit of love
wolf /lion /ant /leopard / bear/ elephant/ the wild/ the untamed /forests I call the spirit of love
lovers /warriors /thinkers singers dancers farmers I call the spirit of love
child/ innocence /old man/ old mother/ great loving father I call the spirit of love
unknown /uncharted / open /the unknowable I call the spirit of love
mystics /blessed ones /golden beings
silence/ peace /understanding/ courage I call the spirit of love
may we all come together
and take the experience of life
to a next higher level of being

Habib Allah

I say: my eyes --- you say : look for him
I say: my ears---- you say : listen
I say: my heart-- You say what’s inside
I say: my longing----I say: my longing
You say: That’s all you need
