Oh Spirit of the Wine
Oh Spirit of Divine
I seek you in the Sinai ocean
and see you in every wave
Oh Spirit of the Wine
Oh Spirit of Divine
I seek you in Sinai’s sky
and feel your breath in the wind
Oh Spirit of the Wine
Oh Spirit of Divine
I seek thee in form
Yet you are the formless and formed
Oh Spirit of the Wine
Oh Spirit of Divine
I seek you upon Tur
and behold you through the sun’s rays
which shone upon Moses
He; love struck for days
Lovers come to Sinai pursuing thee
Oh Noble spirit where thy promised presence resides
You amidst them
We amidst you
Your promised protection
We seek thy shelter
Young Mohammed
Prince of the desert
wrapped in linen garb
your journey commenced
Buhaira you met
the Devoted Monk
Buhaira sought Divine
and witnessed thee!
in Love with thee
in awe for thee
transfixed upon thee
mesmerized by thee
A Prophet he declared
in thee he affirmed
long before the call
Blessed was he
among the first to believe
Prophethood he saw
in the young prince of Arabia
the seal of the Prophets
he witnessed all signs
from every holy scripture
he confirmed you sublime
Fortunate was he
to be graced by thee
love at first sight
his worship; to stare at thee
his worship; tasawwur e bashar
Tasawwru e nuur
this secret worship from time eternal
gazing at thee gazing at light
You walked among bedouins
Innocent’s delight
clouds shaded thee
every tree bowed
“Peace be upon thee!”
Birds soared cirumbulating thee
charmed by thee
hypnotized by thee
Buhaira by pen captured thee
a relic in print passed on to aspirants
Masters and seekers stare in adoration in veneration
All creation bore witness
when angels were summoned
to bow to Adam
in him stood Ahad the only Ahmad
The Holy one; the Chosen One
Disguised in Adam’s flesh
in Spiirt You-Oh Ahad-The One
Oh Ahmad Oh Mohammed
Oh Praised One
Oh First One
Oh Awal
Buhaira found the cave of light with thee
Cave of Hira said, wait you for me!
Cave Thaur said, do not exclude me!
Sinai said, come reside in me!
Again from Sinai a calling came
a delegation to Madina
seeking protection, bescheeing thee
you swore safety
a blue print for peace
Angels descended, prophets arrived
All monks witnessed
Ali your scribe
By Mohammed the praised one
Son of Abdullah
heaven bore testimony
*Isa rejoiced
his follower would fear no more
Mustafa our saviour
summoned his community
to safeguard, protect, respect all Isawis
like their own
this vow; our honour
to break; our disgrace
falling low in heaven’s eyes’
Blood shed today
Mohammed you bleed
The cross stained in crimson
Angels lament
hearing you weep
AhdName
AchtiName
Ahmad’s Nama
Ahmad’s promise
Ahmad’s treaty
Ahmad’s covenant
Ahmad’s promise we affirm
To Sinai disheveled
To Sinai for Moses
To Sinai for Jesus
A love triangle
Mohammed
Isa
Musa
Mahdi’s spirit in Sinai
everpresent is he
watchful is he
calls he his men
to reaffirm the pledge of his grandfather
Ahdname Achtiname
his fellow men pledge and call upon in spirit
paying homage to Tur
where man and ash fused as one
Where fana bore witness
to the Light of HU
refracting through Ahmad
Ahad veiled by meem
Meem striking Moses
Catherine’s spirit beckons Mohammed
Seekers pledge to affirm the treaty
The pledge to restore
that we lost;
the Abrahamic knot
the lessons you taught
Men set forth
armies of light
flock to pledge to Ahdname
Oh Spirit of the Wine
Oh Spirit of Divine
In Sinai your presence
In Sinai your breath
In Sinai your shade
In Sinai your light
In Sinai your promise
In Sinai your vow
We pay homage to thee
Grace us with Grace
Honor to Ali
Honor to your household
Honor to your loyal companions
Honor to the Sultans
Honor to those who upheld
Honor to those who preserved
the truth and sanctity in thy words
Honor to every witness
Honor to Sinai, the city of peace
By the fig, the olive and the Mount of Sinai
My heart bears witness to AhdName-AchtiName!
I swoon to the Ney of AhdName
My eyes shed tears to Ahdname
I whirl to the dance of AhdName
Pilgrims sojourn to AhdName
By the hand which wrote AhdName
By the scribe who recorded AhdName
I dance to the drum of AhdName
I sway to the tune of AhdName
I chant to the song of AhdName
I drum to the beat of AhdName
I sip to the wine of AhdName
By the eyes who witnessed AhdName
By the tongue which uttered AhdName
By the Angels who descend on AhdName
By the heart engraved with AhdName
By the light of Mohammed AhdName
By the one who upheld AhdName
We bear witness to AhdName
By the Ishq of Mohammed AhdName
By the love of Ali AhdName
By the sir of Jesus AhdName
By the Jalal of Moses AhdName
By the faith of Nowfal AhdName
By the love of Khadija AhdName
By the loyalty of Hayder AhdName
By the Pledge of Siddique AhdName
By the seal of Prophethood AhdName
By the covenant of Quresh AhdName
By the truce of Hudaibiya AhdName
By the Convenants to the Christians AhdName
By the Sultan’s Tughra AhdName
By the burning bush AhdName
By the valley of Tuwa AhdName
By the well of Moses AhdName
By the sanctity of Tur AhdNama
By the mention of Sinai AhdName
By the dove and spider AhdName
By the wings of the eagle Ahdname
For the sake of Mary AhdNama
By the Lord of All Worlds AhdName
We conclude with love for AhdName
