He Surely Lives

«The day Shaykh died
The heavens cried
My heart with sorrow smiled
All seas of joy dried
As confusion boils inside
Where emptiness and pain collide
A darkness that the earth cannot hide
But he surely lives
In the palm of He who life gives
In eternal gardens where rivers flow
Where the Light of light doth sit
In the countenance of AR-RAHMAN
Side by side with his greatest Rahma (Nabi SAW)
In the companionship of wali-ul-Akbar (Sheikh Ahmed Tijani RA)
In conversation with saahib-ul-Faydah (Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse RA) »
