Ishq Allah Ma'bud Lillah

Guitar Chords: Am C G E

Ishq Allah Ma'bud Lillah
La ilaha ila alah alah ha
Awake, my dear, be kind to your sleeping heart
La ilaha ila alah alah ha
Take it out into the vast fields of Light
La ilaha ila alah alah ha
and let it breathe, let it breathe
La ilaha ila alah alah ha

Notes on meaning

Ishq Allah Ma'bud Lillah means god is love, lover, and the beloved 

La ilaha ila alah alah= the First half of the shahada, one of the most important Islamic prayers 

There is no god but God
Mystic Sufi’s interpreted it a little more broadly,
God can be anything that you ascribe reality to. 
Nothing exists but pure reality/ existence itself,
The only reality is the Divine reality

Ha= like a breathe

Where Divine = The One. The Conscious Oneness. The Unity. The Divine,  The Beyond-Comprehension. The Self-Aware, Who Comprehends All. Existing, Knowing, Seeing, Hearing, Speaking, Willing, The Source of Power. Perfection in and of Itself. Greater than which there is none. Who remains when all else is gone.  The highest good you can imagine 

It is the essence (and practice) of the annihilation of falsehood. It is both a statement of Divine Truth, and a lesson on how to know it. It means that there IS ONLY Allah, and demonstrates that the quickest way to “know” the Unity is to deny all else.
