    The Luminous Riders

    M. Fethullah Gulen

    The luminous riders, divine light on their faces
    With fire in their hearts and a blissful composure
    They take everywhere armfuls of peace
    Inside their eyes dews of infinity appear
    The luminous riders, divine light on their faces

    Like censers giving off fragrance all around
    Leaving wisps behind, everywhere they pass
    Offering the secrets of eternity to the world
    Never-fading values in their thoughts
    Like censers, giving off fragrance all around

    In their gardens, like a legendary land
    Springs of Paradise pour from crystal fountains
    In their evergreen realm where no fall is seen
    Everyday a new spring, everyday new blooms
    In their gardens, like a legendary land

    Angels hover in their horizons at each moment
    They breathe the same air as heavenly spirits
    Skies open their arms, constellations stand in salute
    With their inner worlds like bays of Paradise
    Angels hover in their horizons at each moment.
