Tears Of Blood
By Alicia Ali And Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin

Built by Angels as the House of Ateeq,
Then by Adam
Marked by Abraham’s feet
The Holy Kaba was built, and built again
The symbol of Monotheism, the Secret of Human
A sign of unity and for the worship of One
The direction of Hymn for all under the Sun

She is our symbol
She stood in the barren valley with conviction
Persevering under all extreme condition
Her family the Hanifs
Her religion their Peace (Islam)

Yet do we realize
That She was skillfully placed
Amongst the Valley of Bekkah
To be protected by the Mountains of Makkah.
The gracious Desert surrounding her,
