O how I longed for your warm and loving embrace
I dreamt of that moment of seeing your radiant face

I often used to wonder as you would pass me by
If it would be my arms that would hide from you the sky

To draw you unto myself I would eternally wait
Sometimes I used to wonder if I could attain to such a state
The others who longed for you with me would often talk
Each one of us wishing you to ourselves as by us you would walk.

When you settled in Medina just to know that you were near
Filled me with wonderment, awe, made me shed a tear
To know that your feet were walking on the earth of which I was a part
Filled me with so much joy, how can I tell you, where do I start?

When I heard the news of your death, I was devastated yet filled with glee
Sad for all the people, all other earth, but elated for me
You see I had realised when the news spread far and wide
That it was going to be me, because they had started to dig into my sides

I was once so dark, so cold, and nothing special in any way
Now because you are with me I'm visited each and every day
The people they come using transportation in planes from up high
The Angels also visit in their droves, from the heavens, the skies.

Now that you are with me I'm illuminated, so very bright
It was once on the surface, now inside has come your light
I know the day will come when you will rise up and walk away
My only wish is that your fragrance with me will always stay

O listener have you worked me out, do you understand, do you know?
You too will have one like me; to him you'll most surely go
Your awaited one, you may love, hate, rue or even crave
Yet I am the most blessed of all, I am Prophet Mohammed's (sawa) grave.
