Text Box: The Joys of New Year New Year for a new life, New vows for new objectives, New contacts for new deals, New relationships for new feelings, New Year once again in my heart, Willing new challenges to crop up, Forgetting yesterday to feel the gaze of tomorrow, Which fills the soul with new visions, Carrying the flame of love, Up high in the sky of truth, Celebrating the festive day of Hope, Which penetrates the hearts of believers, Willing them to pluck the fruit of Love, From the tree of realisation, Do bring your faith as the true discipline of life, Relieve yourself from the burden of sorrow, Smile for true victory lies in accepting defeat, Let your will be that of Your Lord, Every heart knows not its mission, Do open your heart to your attainments, New bruises for new pain, New success for new joys, New missions for new goals, Smile for victory lies in your hand, Destiny perceives your heart, Faith can carry your heart to the highest station, The home of Love is yours, Open your heart to its finest structures, Is not your Lord the best of Creators? Who has created you out of nothing? Even nothing is a thing for it holds an identity, What you cannot see you forget, And what is physically visible you recognise, But the invisible is for sure the true reality, O New Year reflect not your imperfections, Carry the words of faith and hope in your breast, Let people catch the light of your new day, As fresh as a new blossom in the garden of bliss, Festivities for the New Year, O believers, Spend this special day and the rest of the year with your Lord, Forget this world, Reflect on the real tomorrow, Which may bring doom or bliss, A fire in the heart, Either the fire of bliss or the fire of sheer torment, Torment me no more, Open your breast to the light of truth, And catch the fresh scent of a beautiful tomorrow. Hazrat Amir’oul Momeneen Muhy’uddin Munir Ahmad Azim (Received on the 7th January 2005 after Fajr Prayers)
