God anointed His Beloved as the Merciful Sultan to rule over the world in a celestial symphony of benevolence—writes Mujeeb Jaihoon
Hey, the most loved-
By the Most Loving,
You are my desire;
In the solitary cold, my fire.
You are my own,
The wind to raise my kite-down.
You are all I have,
In worlds twin to save.
No other love do I know;
My soul and heart on you thrive.
Hey, love of all love,
Hey, praise of all praise!
World’s love vessel,
Of His Mercy, the castle.
God made you the Merciful Sultan,
Entire world for your compassionate reign.
All the sweet words I write
Not enough for the love I invoke.
I carve out of my heart
To join the garland I make.
Hand shivers,
Heart trembles,
Intellect bows,
With love, soul radiates.
