1. ALI
Within my body is a heart
And in this heart a soul
Within this soul is Ali..
And this is what makes me whole


2.
"We are not weeping willows blowing aimlessly in the wind...
we have meaning, we have purpose,
we are seekers of Light."


3. Allah's Essence
Within an oyster lies a pearl
and in a rose it's fragrance

Withinmy heart a hidden love
only He knows how intense

Within the sun a ray of hope
and in the sunset serenity

He is the breeze that touches one's lips... and in the soul tranquility.


4. My Compass
Allah, my Compass
give me direction
the location of my soul
that I am find my way home...

I've walked the streets of sadness
with tears filling the gutters

I've flown over miles of loneliness
and landed on fields of pain

I've swam across rivers of darkness
and been washed ashore islands of fear

O'Allah, my Compass
give me direction
the location of my soul
that I may find my way home...


5. A prayer to Mowla
Mowla, hear the echoes of my heart
as I sit alone at night
I hold my tasbih close to me
hoping to see Your Light

Sometimes I cry, because I think I'm lost
and my body is full of fear
But the I hear that little whisper,
"Don't worry, I'm Here..."

Show me how to restore my sight
and remember we are a team
hold my hand through the darkness
onto Your Path of Sirat-al-Mustaqim

Let me smell the roses from Your
Beautiful Garden
and feel the soft breeze on my cheek
Everytime I sit inBandagi, this is all I truly seek

Only You can dry away my tears,
and make me smile for real
only You can come to rescue me
only You know how I feel.

Mowla, hear the echoes of my heart
as I sit alone at night
I hold my tasbih close to me,
hoping to see Your Light.


6. This Journey of mine...
This journey of mine is mostly uphill..
far into the trees..
Sometimes it's been cold and dark,
yet I feel so immensely free...

For my tears have watered Your garden
and my anger has been absorbed by Your soil
You are my Sacred Friend..
The One who has always been Loyal

You've heard the silence of my voice
and felt my inner pain
You've seen the deep footprints I've left behind
and You've helped carry my heavy chains...

I've walked hundreds of miles outside,
and even more miles within
I've meditated at the grandfather tree...
Well...you know where I've been...

This is my journey, a page of time,
A passage from my scroll,
How can I give back to you?
my Creator, my Sacred Friend, my Soul...
