True Love

[Abdul-Raheem]

True Love

I want you too much to take you
And cherish you too much to cheapen
So sister accept my distance
And watch my love slowly deepen

I am but one man among many
Who longingly thinks to savor
Your warmth, your eyes, your smile,
And wonder at its flavor

My place among them is common
Of merits, I cannot boast
But sister my devotion
To your honor is foremost

It’s for Islam, not spite it
That I will not meet your eye
And it’s not romantic cowardice
That keeps my smiles shy

It’s not that you’re inferior
It’s just that I’m so base
I haven’t the control
To gaze into your face

Without my heart missing beats
Without forgetting to be ‘brother’
Without wishing your love
Was for me, and no other

So until Allah blesses me
And you become my other half
I will always close my ears
To the melody of your laugh

I will always close my eyes
To the beauty of your face.
I will kindly ask my heart
To beat at normal pace.

I will walk a step before you
And cast no looks from behind
I will move my lips in zhikr
To keep you off my mind.

For I want you too much to take you
And cherish you too much to cheapen
Sister, accept my distance.
Sister, watch my love deepen.

First things first, I did NOT write this poem. I don't want to take credit from where it's due. Even if I did write it, I don't think I'd have the courage to post it:redface: Sometimes, life throws a lot of things in your directions and love is one. I could really relate to the poet's situation so that's why I decided to post this.

W-Salam,

Sister! You have earned my respect my mentioning Rumi.

But where did Maulana Jalaul-uddin Rumi write Romantic poetry?

Have you been to Konya, Turkey? Been there, done that, got arrested spent 1 1/2 hours in a Police Station, because I knocked OFF the big white turban from his huge grave (Turban is the size of 25 inch TV) ! :)

W-Salam,

He wrote about the Love of Allah (SWT) & it is superb poetry. I am not a Sufi either but some of his stuff is out of this world. Orientilists have turned a lot of his poetry into Romance; which it is not!

Another one of these poets is Amir Khusroo (RA) and bollywood have taken his songs which he wrote about Allah (SWT) & turned them into love-songs:astag: like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaiyya_Chaiyya

If you listen to the words of this song in an Islamic context; it is absolutely riveting; look at the words ,

"...You are my Kalima, You are my rhyme"
"...Cherish you like a Mushaf & Endear you like a verse"
"...In the cool shade, lets walk..."
"You are my destination, you are my Jannah.."

Which guy sings that for a girl!

Absolutely BRILLIANT poetry!

:SMILY176:

P.S: I don't listen to songs; but heard this in Pakistan so I had to look it up and investigate the history!

yeah rumi is one of my fave poets and i wish i had the time to study him proper, stuff like sheakespear is just forced down ure throat at school but when compared to Rumi its just flops.

:SMILY176:
none.

it would be great if pakistan kicked bollywood right off the scene, its sad that u heard it there in the bollywood context and not the origonal like it should be.

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

I heard the song in Pakistan and then in UK a revert Sister spoke about it to me; she said that she used to watch Bollywood Stuff on TV (late in the nights)...She was welsh and wanted to know where to buy Asian clothes in Cardiff!

She was more Asian then Asians!

Then at work a whole bunch of English people went to see this movie, now these are middle-class people/couples;

Then I heard about it on Radio-5-Live (BBC)

so I was shocked!

Whats the world coming to?

Thats so lovely!......and true.

Purity is beautiful......and what could be more of a beautiful gift from our creator than a loving partner, whose gaze has never been met by the lustful looks of another.:hearts:
