My head lowered in humbleness, my  heart thumping
A strange force dominated me
Each step, towards the blessed spot
Engulfed in Allah's mercy.

I dared not raise my head
For my heart was preparing...
Preparing to hold itself in place,
For, very soon, The Blessed Sight i'd be seeing.

My heart shivered out of sheer joy,
As the cool air swept, caressing me
Adrenaline rushing through each of my nerves
For, the blessed house, I was going to see.

Aware that my destination was here,
An overwhelming feeling hit me.
I raised my head to find the source,
Light was all that I could see.

My heart, I couldn't hold...
I felt too weak yet surprisingly strong.

My tears, I couldn't hold...
As pools of  years of longing flowed through my eyes.

The sight captured my heart like nothing has ever done before..
My heart was high...
It was flying over the heavens as the pure scent washed it.
The heavenly angels witnessed it..

I forgot the world..
I forgot Myself, each and everything,
The Only thing on my heart, sight and soul
Was This House and its Exalted Owner.

My heart prostrated, refusing to raise its head
Wishing life would be as wonderful as that moment
Wishing either this moment to never end,
Or, my life to, at that moment end.

"Labbaik Allahumma labbaik"
Softly left my lips,
Every nerve humbled in pure gratitude,
Submissive in front of The Mighty.

Years have passed,
Yet, the sight never leaves my mind.
After any day of heartbreak
Remembering the moment puts all worries behind.

The first time i was blessed to see the blessed house  الكعبة
No words could describe the feeling.
And the reason I was looking down, looking at my feet, all the way was my uncle told me to do so, as he held my hand,
He said "Don't look up until I squeeze your hand,"
I did as he told, and after his signal, I raised my head, the first thing I actually noticed on entering masjidul haram was Kabah.

It was one greatest gift.. The feeling was overwhelming.

And no... The poem is not even an atom amount of what I actually felt.
Anyone who has experienced it might know.

Alhamdulillah<3
