RAINS OF MERCY
When you hear the thunder in Madeena, know that soon the rains of mercy will drench the Great Green Dome. A shower of mercy and an increase in barakah on the greatest Nabi ىلص الله هيلع ملسو. Oh, beautiful rain! Gently wash the dome of the mubarak dust of Madeena.
Your raindrops bring joy and happiness to the City of Light, and increase the sparkling lights of the lofty minarets. Oh rain! Drench me too and wash me clean of sin, since I’m in the presence of my beloved Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم...

DEPARTURE FROM MADINA MUNAWWARAH

I would rather be a leaf on a tree in Madina, the city of peace blowing in the breeze of Madina. I would rather be a rock on the mount of Uhad found in the city of light.  Yes how I long to be apart of the city of Madina Munawwarah, Oh, Madina, Madina. I shed a tear, nay a stream of tears down my cheeks as I leave the city of Nabi ﷺ. O Allah ﷻ I beg of you, as the sun is on the decline in the city of Madina, please increase my love for the Nabi ﷺ. O Allah ﷻ I beg of you forgive me as I leave the city of your beloved ﷺ. Please o my Rabb, please o my Rabb bring me back again to Madina Munawwarah, the city light...

PIGEONS OF MADINA MUNAWWARAH

As I leave the sacred Masjid-un-Nabawi ﷺ, I look at the pigeons of the Haram and address them thus. “O You pigeons of Madina Munawwarah, I look at you and wish I was one of you. Why?? You have been blessed in that you walk on the ground that Nabi ﷺ walked on and you fly in the sky whence JIbraeel ﷵ ﷷ came from, bringing the vital Wahi (revelation) of the Glorious Qur’aan (final book of guidance)...

A Bucket of Tears as I Say:
​"Until We Meet Again"
- Anonymous

Oh sunrise and sunset of Madeena, Your shades of colors and your beauty surpasses any dawn and evening in the earth, as you pigment on the minarat and green dome of our Rasool ﷺ. I'm sure in comparison, you are nothing like the noor of Nabi ﷺ. In our eyes you are magical but I'm sure in your own eyes you are shy to rise in the city of Madeena when you have the Nabi to compare to...
