بِسۡمِ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Dear Spiritual Wayfarer

No doubt, your heart is speaking
Intimacy with your Lord it is seeking
Regular litanies or awrād for recital
For His nearness and His love is vital

Quran reading is the essential litany
But to cultivate the epiphany
Here is an invitation to the resolute
To the garden of the Hidāya Institute

To enjoy its enchantment and delight
To reap its fruit and attain its light
These are from traditional sources
That which our rich legacy endorses

Enlightenment from Aḥmad and the Idrīsiyya
Blessings from Abu al-Ḥasan and the Shādhiliyya
Pearls which Ghazālī and Ḥaddād convey
And gifts from the noble Naqshbandi Way

With peace and love to everybody
Your humble servant, Abdurahman Dollie
