Heavenly Kiswa

Oh how I yearn to see Mecca’s night sky

A heavenly covering adorning the sacred sanctity

Softer than velvet; ebony’s envy

Silvery stars embossed onto the mystique black chador

Bait ul Mamur has generously allowed us a glimpse

A glint rather through the radiant lit sky

Opaque to some, transparent to others

Imaginations soar perceiving

As angels rotate

Birds emulate

Mortals imitate

Lost in His love, a cosmic trance

A universal dance of heaven and earth.

You praise the Kiswa  made by His servants?

Look high above

Cosmic beauty at its peak

A heavenly Kiswa  visible to all, second to  none!
