94 - The Expansion

Thou Allah! Thou Gracious! Thou Merciful! Thou Beloved!

  1. Drawing near to Allah
  2. His breath upon my neck,
  3. I shudder and weep.
  4. Fallen from me are my burdens;
  5. My back straightening from the release.
  6. Swelling in me, Love fills my breast.
  7. Through suffering I learned to see my beloved.
  8. Through difficulty I came to dwell in relief.
  9. Through the gift of inner struggle
  10. I came to hear the sparrows in the morning.
  11. With new strength I pick up the sack from where it lay in the sand.
  12. I reshoulder my burdens.
  13. The mountains are mountains.
  14. The rivers are rivers.
