• The Beloved

  His wisdom flowed from Heaven’s Book
  Just like threaded pearls, just like threaded pearls
  He left his self to flee to God, and God sent him back to us

  He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
  He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to guide

  He prayed all his nights alone
  In stars’ and Angels’ sight
  And in the day, he lit the way, with blazing words so bright

  He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
  He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to be kind

  He taught the people to worship
  Bowing to One God, bowing to One God
  His mercy stretched from east to west, to every man, woman and child

  He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
  He was born to be the Beloved; nature – sublime

  He opened up the doors of love, for every heart parched with thirst
  He was a mercy to the worlds and unto the universe

  He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
  He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to guide
