Lyrics
Can you imagine one who was the gentlest of men? While being the most brave and just of all who've been. One who conquered all desires of self that make men weak. Who granted all who asked him precisely what they seek. Whom only jewels poured out his mouth whenever he would speak. Who was the gem amongst the stones of men who shined unique. A selflessness and generosity that some would say was merely myth. Until they'd seen the lovers of his way. Who used to mend his sandals and used to patch his clothes. Who used to serve his family whenever he was home. Who had a noble shyness not gazing long upon a face. Who honored all he ever met, be they king or be they slave. La ilaha illallah Allah La ilaha illallah Allah
