Caravanserai | Talib Al Habib (English)

And so this traveller lost
And weary wondering far from

Home came atlast upon your caravanserai
And where the ocean meets the sea

In grief and anguish he did weep
So long love wondered and yet still

I know not what I seek
And yet reflected in your eyes

I see a truth that splits the night
So can you whisper to me

The secret of what worship is
So you said

La Illah Illallah
Allahu Allahu

You cannot worship until you love
You cannot love until you feel

You cannot feel until you understand
You cannot understand until you learn

You cannot learn until you have been found
Cant be found until you seek

You will not seek nor find until you yearn
And you will not yearn until you remember

So remember
La Illah Illallah
Allahu Allahu

The traveller heart stood and awoke
And born alloft on wings of hope

Beheld a deeper mystery
Glimmering beneath your words

He cast himself before your feet and
Know that that of which you speak

Cannot be found by seeking
But only seekers find it

Yet in the footsteps that you make
I see the path that I must take

So may I follow you and
Learn the secret that you keep

You said remember and you will yearn
Yearn and you will seek

Seek, seek you will be found
And when you’re found then you will learn

When you learn then you will understand
Understand and you will feel

When you feel him then you will love
And when you love then you will worship

Then you will worship
La Illah Illallah
Allahu Allahu
