There’s a hypocrite inside of me But I don’t want it to be me I know it’s somewhere there Lurking in the corners where No human eyes can see I want to suppress thee But you want to accompany me Trying to befriend me There’s a hypocrite inside of me If you win over me…
Oh, wretchedness and despair fill me
Yet I tarry away from turning to my Lord!
Do you remember the rendezvous with the House of your Lord?
And all of a sudden, the wait seemed so long?
A Blessed guest not ushered in soon?
My walk in life is in solitude, Drawing no inspiration, my mind is bleak. The crowds in banter and more; As I seek to recognize a familiar voice within. Changing colors of human expressions; Alas, pale is what my vision paints. Unaffected remains my glance; As I try to capture a spark of…
Seeking genuine love, I set off following a Beam of Light. That one Hovering Afar, Behind a shield plunked in the sight; Yet not seeking to hide. The Road is kind of dim, but the vision is clear, The beam of light, is also apparent. I come close, then retreat, Then again closer, To find…
The heart yearns for love, So does your lacking soul. High in the sky above, Mute.. There’s a persisting call! Your surrounds are lightfull But bleak is your vision. You look left, you look right, seeming dull, Helplessly you linger.. your own minion! You silent your eager will, Not knowingly supress your hopes, they no…
A one-sided conversation I sustain and bring anew Cloaked in ignorance A monologue is a regular offering as a due Why then the complain of no serenity? Why not a brief but clear understanding of His Magnanimity? Five minutes of recollection But a minute for reflection “I’m trying”, is the objection But off-set focus is…
While I plea for compassion For my mothers, children and wives I kneel to God And they kneel on my bare back My house is burned down And charred bodies lay on the ground But I cannot try Nor can I cry They wield their weapons And brandish their knives While I plea for…
Tonight, as before.. I run to Thee Amid Life’s submerge, I take refugee in Thee I stand at the door of Thou Mercy In quest for Thou Munificence Thou Divine Benevolence here I come to seek I raise my hand and tilt my head earnestly Over the shades of materialism incubating my heart Taking over…
I whisper my prayers to Thee and look around Worshippers graceful, excelling in duties abound I glance at my stance and lo, what do I behold? Tattered prayers deserving of more Standing shy, I wonder if need to compete for Thine Bountiful Attention Or wouldst I harbor some jealousy in seeking a court with Thou…
This heart belongs to You Ya Allah Fill it with Eeman Fill it with Love – undying Fill it with awe of You Fill it with the purity of a new born Fill it with the zest of martyrdom Fill it with tranquility and never-ending happiness Fill it with Your Light Fill it with compassion…
O Allah, we ask You for such a forgiveness, After which no sins are committed. We ask You for such a guidance, After which there is no going astray. We ask You for such a pleasure, After which there is no displeasure. We ask You for such a mercy, After which there is no torment….
O Bestower of innumerous bounties, Bestow the honor of being in Your Shade For what could be better at all Than to have Your Pleasure upon me. My Lord, leave me not make my own commands For then I will indeed be at a loss. O Master of Mercy, Let my weeping heart bring forth…
Oh Allah… It was during the early stages of my life when I started facing what I perceived as setbacks and I claimed to be strong enough not to refer to anybody for support but I knocked at Your door and I found You. I stood before You exposing my vulnerability which I skillfully hid…
If every breath I took was to thank You, I would want to live eternally, my Lord. If each of my heart’s beats could say one thing and nothing else, It would be I love You Allah. If I yell and tell the whole world how much You’ve given me, I can never do You…
