And you would serve him your very best.
Would be a joy without compare.
Or your T.V. set?
And hope he had not heard?
And wish that you did not utter
your last loud hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music,
And, instead, take out Hadith books?
Could you let him walk right in?
And I wonder…
If the Prophet (peace be upon him) spent, a day or two with you,
Would you go on doing the things you always do?
Would you go right on and say the things You always say?
Would life for you continue
As it does from day to day?
Would your family conversations,
Keep up their usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal,
To say a table grace?
Would you keep up each and every prayer?
Without putting on a frown?
And would you always jump up early,
For Fajr at dawn?
Would you sing the songs you always sing?
And read the book you read?
And let him know the things on which,
Your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take the Prophet with you,
Everywhere you plan to go?
Or, would you maybe change your plans,
Just for a day or so?
Would you be glad to have him meet,
Your very closest friends?
Or, would you hope they stay away,
Until his visit ends?
It might be interesting to know,
The things that you would do.
If Prophet Muhammad came,
To spend some time with you
