24 hours from Mecca

** 24 hours from Mecca **
24 hours from Mecca
24 hours from Hajj
The dreams of a pilgrim are many
Of prayers and God and who to marry
One last great effort to show
Holiness of a simple man's soul
24 hours from Mecca
24 hours from paradise steps
Becoming less than a religious chore
Closer you get your soul demands more
To be enlightened and uplifted
No mobile or inanity to be twitted
A moment in a life to be devoted
On your lips words The Prophet quoted
24 hours from Mecca
24 hours from your heart
The trails been hard and many a stumble
Food is poor and accommodation humble
This is a zealous pilgrim's lot
For this pilgrimage earthly pleasures to stop
No need of body in heaven
This journey about the soul's reach
How deep how broad how righteous found
This humble soul with thoughts profound
Changed and charged by focused zeal
The world fades only paradise is real
Beyond this place of dust and sinners
Paradise awaits pilgrimages winners
24 hours from Mecca
24 hours from Mecca.
