The Caravensarai

And so this traveller
Lost and weary wondering far from home Came atlast upon your Caravanserai And where the ocean meets the sea In grief and anguish he did weep So long I’ve wondered and yet still I know not what I seek And yet reflected in your eyes,
I see a truth that splits the night So can you whisper to me,
The secret of what worship is So you said “La Ilaha Il Allah” ( There’s no god but Allah) Allahu… Allahu…

You cannot Worship until you Love You cannot Love until you Feel You cannot Feel until you Understand You can’t Understand until you Learn You cannot Learn until you have been found Can’t be found until you seek You will not seek nor find until you yearn And you will not yearn until you Remember So remember “La ilaha il Allah” (There’s no god but Allah) Allahu… Allahu…

The traveller’s heart stood and awoke And born alloft on wings of hope Beheld a deeper mystery glimmering beneath your words He cast himself before your feet and Know that that of which you speak Cannot be found by seeking but only Seekers find it Yet in the footsteps that you make I see the path that I must take So may I follow you and Learn the secret that you keep You said Remember and you will Yearn Yearn and you will Seek Seek,
seek,
you will be found And when you’re found then you will Learn When you Learn then you will Understand Understand and you will Feel When you Feel him,
then you will Love And when you Love,
then you will Worship,
Then you’ll Worship “La ilaha il Allah” (There’s no god but Allah) Allahu… Allahu…
