In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Coffee
An urge to return is simmering, deep within the soul
A restlessness - a yearning, calling towards the Goal
So the seeker sows a seed, hoping to harvest a crop
It's knowledge he seeks and he will succeed, if he even receives a drop
From an ancient drink whose very aroma awakens aspiration
Setting the mood for enlightenment; reflection and contemplation
When ready it's carefully poured into, the cup of good behaviour
The cream of Zikrullah is added to enrich the texture and flavour
Sweetened with Salawat on the one in whom virtue was perfected
It stirs us to the Sunnah, of the one whom God selected
Gently cooled by the fanning wings, of Angels made from light
That cover the seeker of sacred knowledge, as he learns to his heart's delight
Wisely take your time, ensuring every sip is savoured
With every sip you thank Allah, feeling immensely favoured
O with what other drink can the cup of knowledge be compared,
So generously host and serve your guests, for knowledge tastes best when shared!
