I appreciate good works

I participate in penning down rosy words

I celebrate a passionate poet’s infectious thoughts

I bow down to His Revered Words

I necessitate my being in an invisible chain

It’s merely because I’m chasing false gains

I hesitate in accepting enlightenment

I am infatuated with bright lights and heavy garment

I exaggerate the meaning of being in vain, I erase my deeds with mindless chattering

Not stopping to think about the fact that my soul is taking all the battering

I expiate for the sins that I’ve done

I forget and don’t put a brake when the next day has come

I need to rehabilitate my soul

I need to communicate and not be a renegade

I need to exterminate the devil

And mock at my own revels

I need to salvage my wrecked faith

Sincere tears to keep it straight

Wicked years to compensate

I need to let go of my mental state

And put and end to my mistakes

I indulge myself in recklessness

While I anticipate for a future with no harsh happenings

I become disloyal to The One

And I expect for all good things to come

Hate the word ‘Hypocrisy’

Yet am a victim

Hate the word ‘Envy’

Yet am a victim

Hate the word ‘Ego’

Yet am a willing victim

4 golden words

Beg to hold it close to the heart

Will try to act upon it until death does me apart

‘Embrace Allah’s Straight Path’
