I wonder If the Prophet Muhammad visited you Just for a day or two If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room To such an honoured guest And all the food you'd serve to him Would be your very best And you would keep assuring him You're glad to have him there That serving him in your home Is a joy beyond compare BUT...... When you see him coming Would you meet him at the door? With arms outstretched in welcome To your visitor? OR..... Would you have to change your clothes Before you let him in? Or hide some magazines And put teh Quran where they had been? Would you still watch R-rates movies On your TV set Or would you rush to switch it off Before he gets upset Would you turn off the radio And hope he hadn't heard? And wish you hadn't uttered That last loud, hasty world? Would you hide you music And instead take hadith books out? Could you let him walk right in, Or woul you rush about it? And, I wonder... If the Prophet spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing The things you always do? Would you go right on saying The things you always say? Would life for you continue As it does from day to day? Would your family conversation Keep up its usual pace? And would you find it hard each meal To say a table grace? Would you keep up each every prayer Without putting on a frown? And would you always jump up early For prayer at down? Would you sing the songs you always sing And reas the books 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 two? Would you be glad to have him meet Your very closet friends? Or, would you hope they'd stay away Until this visit ends? Would you be glad to have him stay Forever on and on? OR..... Would you sigh with great relief When he at last was gone? It might be interesting to know The things that you would do If the Prophet Muhammad, in person, Came to spend some ime with you.
