Life in heaven

I dream of heaven when I am awake, with shattered thoughts at daybreak I see the sun on the horizon, my fair maiden from her sleep is rising In the halls of heaven the virgin feasts, not ever touched by man or beast Her body alight with vivid light, a precious gem glittering so bright Her parted lips, as ripe figs, her scattered servants immortal kids My longing for her is quite compelling, in a crystal palace my maiden is dwelling Her silky dress accessorized with gold, her silver sleeves were slightly rolled On an ivory sofa she is reclining, silky pillows with golden lining In the shades of heaven the righteous root, with an abundance of meat and nectar fruit They never bleed and never ache, without a sin always awake All hatred from their hearts extracted, pure souls, brothers connected On platforms of light life they enjoy, above them roam immortal boys From Salsabiel they all shall drink, a healthy cup of water spring Fountains of water, ponds of beer, non like the eye has seen, nor the ear could hear Rivers of milk and pools of honey, cups of wine and endless bliss Life in heaven is man’s reward, only in heaven he will meet his Lord Saleh Ben Saleh
