The Light / Al-Nur

By Christopher Dean Hayes

Enlighten me, Eternal Candle

You are the morning light

that creates the soul from darkness

and guides the pen each night

 

You are the Author of our lives

and the universe designer

All glory is due to You alone

as there is no cosigner

 

The Angels hymn Your very words

Jinn cower at revisions

The stars blink as You dot and cross

They witness all that You envision

 

We are the pages of Your book

Your works, they last forever

All headings pointing to the day

that we are back together
