Spend a night among the gathered souls—just once.
Descend to this restless earth, feel its longing—just once.
Step into the market’s ache, where sorrow and laughter entwine,
Taste the salt of our yearning, sip the honey of time—just once.
Sit where old stones murmur of prayers unanswered,
Let the dust of ages cling to Your robe—just once.
If Adam, Your chosen khalifa, is lost in the dusk,
Then seek him in shattered sighs, in the hush of the wind—just once.
If the stars remain distant, be the flame in human hands,
Let these weary palms cradle Your glow—just once.
Emerge from the ocean of veils You weave,
Let Your boundless gaze touch my fleeting breath—just once.
Where walls crumble and borders dissolve to vines,
Let me stand as one pulse, one breath, one mind—just once.
If I am but a drop, then make me the boundless sea,
If I am a mere pebble, turn me to a radiant gem.
Hear the chorus of the nameless, each voice a golden thread,
Weave them into a tapestry where no soul is cast away.
For the night is fleeting, yet let its truth endure,
Let me burn in the moment’s fire and touch eternity’s flame—just once.
