It was Gibran who said, In only one drop of water are found all the secrets of the ocean.  What a privilege it is for the drop deemed worthy of such an honor. How proud it must feel to be entrusted with such glorious distinction..
But it must also be exhausting for a single drop to harbor confidences of such vast proportion. 
Does it yearn to relinquish its burden and flow freely amongst it's kind unencumbered? I wonder... Or perhaps the noble task of safeguarding the ocean's treasures has become a vital part of it's very existence...

I don't know, but I find myself fascinated.

Qari Waheed Zafar - Allahu

My friend selected this beautiful nasheed to be played instead of an entrance song at her wedding last week; it is one of my favorites

As sub hu bada min talati hii
W- al- laylu dajaa minv wafrati hee
Hai noor-e-sahar chehre say tere
Aur shab ki raunak Zulfoon say.
The light of dawn is from the radiance of Your (PBUH) face
The sparkle of the night is from the glimmer of your (PBUH) blessed Hair.

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Kanz-ul-karami mowl-an-ni amii
Haad-il-umami li shariati hii.

Nimat Ka khazina hain Mawla
Ganjina-yi rehmat ke hai Aqaa
Hadi hai tammam-i ummat ke
Aur rahnuma hai shariat kay.
Our Master (PBUH) is a treasure of grace.
He (PBUH) is a treaure of Mercy
He (PBUH) is the guide of the entire nation,
showing us the way of the Sacred Law.

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Saat-ish-shajaruu nataq-al-hajaruu
Shaqq-al-qamaruu bi ishaaratihii

Ungli ke ishare pair (trees) chale
Eijaz se pathar bol uthe
Aur chand huwa hai dhoo tukre
Angusht ke aik ishare se.
On the command of Your (PBUH) blessed Finger, the trees began to walk
The stones began to speak through Your (PBUH) greatness
The moon split into two
Upon one gesture of your (PBUH) blessed Finger.

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Jibrilu ataa laylata asraa
W-ar-rabbu daaa fii hadrati hii

Jibril-i Amin paigham-i khuda
Lekar aye thay shab-i asra
Allah hane Arsh pay bulvayaa
Kurbat ka sharaf unko bakhsha.
Angel Jibrail (A.S) came with glad tidings from Allah (SWT) on the Night of Ascension
Allah (SWT) invited You (PBUH) to the heavens
And bestowed upon You (PBUH) the honor of intimacy.

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Fa Muhammaduna huwa Sayiduna
Fal iszulana li ijaabetihi
So Mohammad hai apne aqaa
Isi naam se apni izzo baqaa.
Muhammed (PBUH) is our benefactor. He (PBUH) is our leader
This blessed Name [of Muhammed (PBUH)] will preserve our dignity

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
As Subhu badaa min talati hii
W- al- laylu dajaa minv wafrati hee

Hai noor e- sahar chehre se teray
Aur shab ki raunak Zulfoon se.
The light of dawn is from the radiance of Your (PBUH) face
The sparkle of the night is from the glimmer of your (PBUH) blessed Hair.
