when i forgot myself
I Became oblivious to purpose
finding myself
my highest self
I find my calling
the doing and being
this very moment
is where I need to be
so I utter labbaik
this is my Adhan
the dharmic call
To submit to the moment
daughters and sons of time
immersed in worship
through do and be
be and do
this is life
without this knowing
how would I hear my muadhin
how would I act upon
this call
without boundaries
if I let all sounds in
all visitors in
please take a seat
and wait so I may serve you
with ihsan
on your turn
recall Abraham
his call
all takes care of itself
albeit in the heat of a barren
Desert
a babe cries
a fountain gushes forth
Hajar’s exlempary sacrifice
in canons of history
The house is made
For. Eternity
For eternal remembrance
and had the winds swept
over hearts
perhaps we would have
no Mecca Becca
perhaps no foundation
to build the holy kaba
Verily boundaries were
set
Against forces of resistance
Hence the pelting at jamarat
these no’s necessary
for the greater good
hence you’ll be ok when I leave
Hence we will survive
