the dryness and the rain - mewithoutyou lyrics

first came a strong wind,
ripping off rooftops like bottlecaps
and bending lampposts down to the ground
then came a thunder shattering my windows
but you were not that strong wind or that might sound
that left the barn in shambles, the rabbit hutch in ruins
the split-rail fence splintered and the curtains torn,
all the cows out from the pastures trampling on the pumpkins
and the horses from their stables ambling in the corn

isa ruhu-lah ‘alaihis-salat was-salam

i’ve flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect
and i’ve watched you like a falcon from a distance as you p-ssed
then swooped down to be nearer to the traces of your footsteps
to pick the fallen grain from the dirt beneath the crooked gr-ss
and i’m gonna take that grain and i’m gonna crush it all together
into the flour of a bread as small and simple and sincere
as when the dryness and the rain finally drink from one another
the gentle cup of mutual surrender tears

a fish swims through the sea,
while the sea is in a certain sense
contained within the fish!
ah, what am i to think
of what the writing of a thousand lifetimes
could not explain
if all the forest trees were pens
and all the oceans ink?

nastagh-firuka ya hokan
ya dhal-jalah wal-ikram
isa ruhu-lah ‘alaihis-salat was-salam
ya halim, ya qahhar
ya muntaqim, ya ghaffar!
la ilaha ilallahu, allahu akbar!
