An Ode to The Hadra, By Novid Shaid, 2011

Soaring past the stars

Plunging through the seas

Drowning all who join

The Hadra sets them free

.

Everlasting Lights!

Surround them and unite!

.

Linking palms attract

Meanings interact

Inner essences

Expand and then contract

.

Intoxicating Lights!

Mesmerising, Infinite!

.

Lovers sing the odes,

Murid hearts aglow

The Hadra resonates,

Their inner doubts implode.

.

Liberating Lights!

Releasing through the night!

.

Seekers ride the waves

Radiant and amazed,

The songs of Arifeen

Compel them, captivate.

.

Captivating lights!

The veils, they override!

.

Rocking like the sea,

Resounding endlessly,

The hadra unifies

Their spirits, by Decree.

.

Annihilating Lights!

Ignite hearts with true life!

.

Peace on him, the key

to His great mysteries

And blessings ceaselessly

And friends and family.

.

Alleviating Lights!

Sobering with sheer delight!
