بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم. الصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وأصحابه اجمعين

When you just spend a moment to ponder on these lyrics... it's not a love song for a guy.. it's a love song for the Divine. at least, it is for me. let me highlight the obvious lines that proves my 'theory right'.. heheh..

Bismillah..

"Bleeding Love"

"Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love"

#which reminds me of a story... There was this one guy who was in a car with his Sheikh. Then, he wanted to see his Sheikh's reaction if he was to pop in a CD with a love song in it..

He gave it a try. Suddenly a song that goes, "Habibi... Habibi... Habibi..." which means "my lover" in Arab boosted in the car. Well, his Sheikh's reaction took him by surprise(it wasn't what he had expected)... His Sheikh began to cry. The guy suddenly overwhelmed by guilt, asked the Sheikh why he was crying when listening to love song... His Sheikh's reply.."It reminded me of my lover, Allah Taala..."

Masya Allah Taala. That's what i call, pure love that comes from a pure heart.

What if this situation were to happen to us?

Listen to a love song and we're reminded of who? *you,yourself know the answer....*

so, sometimes it confuses me. The word Habibi..which reminded this Sheikh of Allah Taala..is now being thrown out inappropriately... Allahu Taala Yahdina.

Wassalam. Fi Hifzillah Taala. :)
