Poetry

The moon still shines so brightly
The stars are still twinkling
The sky is clear
Yet a cloud burdens my heart
Weep now, dear sky
For he has now left your loving gaze
No more shall you hear his voice
No more shall you see his face
Treat him with reverence, beloved Earth
For the Creator he truly loved
His heart

Poetry

Oh grieving soul, why do you still feel pain
All that you forsook is only for your gain
Pleasure you did feel when engaging therein
But your heart spoke true when it warned you of sin

Oh grieving soul, know this is the devil’s trap
His wish for you to succumb and run the same lap
His calls are always there, inviting to the past
But know the pleasure he promises will never truly last

Oh grieving soul, turn your gaze to the True ...

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وُدًّا

On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (Allah) Most Gracious bestow love. (Surah Mariam, aayah 98)

After reading a particular thread on the main forum, this came to me..

***

You may think that the man is nothing to fear
And that his call to you may seem very sincere
But in his mind you are nothing

Poetry

When I was lost in the darkness of falsehood
The Most Merciful save me from destruction
Opened my eyes He did
To a world that was not for me
And to another world
That could be mine
So kind and loving He is
To have chosen me
When there were so many others
He who know all full well knows my flaws
All aware He is that alone I fall
And the path from me will once more be lost
My Creator Most High guides me to the one

...

وَقُلْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And say, "Oh Lord, forgive me and have mercy, for you are the best of the merciful ones. (Suratul Muminoon, aayah 118)

The traveller stands in despair

Tears flowing from his eyes

He wishes to be cleansed once and for all

Sweat and grime ...
