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
