Do not deprive me of hearing these words derived from sweet nectar; yours is like no other.
Is this what love is? intoxication with all its effects; I don’t want to be sane anymore.
I’ve effortlessly fell in your clutches, but will you keep me close, and shame those that said “be wary of the dunya”?
Will you continue to feed me with obvious lies that I don’t understand? Though the trust that binds me to you blurs every falsehood.
Will you save me from time slowly picking at my youth? Though you’ve promised that I’ve still got time.
Will you stand in between when the destroyer of pleasures visit, will our love continue to triumph?
Will you be with me when the questioners of the dark and lonely abode put me to the test?
Will you ransom yourself for me the day I stand in front of my maker with everything bare?
Dear world will you be with me through it all?-
As I look back to yesterday I can’t help but marvel at my Lords ways in perfectly shaping His decree to come to pass.
Am I thankful enough to Him for today knowing so well that all that I’ve been blessed with is from His many favors.
Most days it felt like walking a dark alleyway with no lights in sight to keep me going, but if only I searched through my heart then I’ll realize His love is the light that no darkness dims.
Ya Rabb it’s your promise of providing for your slave from sources unknown that keeps this traveler on a path of seeking.
It’s your promise Ya Wahhab of sufficiency from you that this destitute one continues to hope for bounties.
I hope dear soul that you remain true to your promise of gratitude to a Lord that that doesn’t put upon you more than your weak self could bear.

The night often brings with it tidings of hope.
Hope for a new beginning and an end to the worries of day.
But many a nights are spent awake, feelings of enigma surrounded.
It takes a sound heart to overcome the thoughts of it.
Make use of those sleepless nights to lay out your worries to the controller of your affairs, to one who is responsive; to Allah.-
Allah will never let your effort’s go to waste,
He hears your silent cries,
And knows what your heart yearns for.
In a world filled with anarchy, seek your calm from Him❤️-
A child I was, painted a picture perfect world.
With no worries but candy and cookies,
I had the will to dream and fantasize,
longed for the day I'd sprout.
As the days rolled by, worries and responsibilities are the norm.
Adulthood is simply a path I'd never walk,
If only I had a clear picture of reality.

A new daw brings with it new beginnings,
The days that passed you by are gone forever.
Be present,
Don't dwell on the whims of old,
live your best moments and let the past stay where it belongs.-
Life passes us by while we procrastinate over things and situations we can't control,
All we see is a bottomless pit when it comes to hope for a new start.
We've been told we only get one shot at life, so why waste it?
This moment is all you have, seize it.
You're not promised tomorrow, no matter how much you run away from reality,
One day, your eyes will be closed forever,
You'll become just a memory to many,
slowly fading as the days roll by.-
You've been still for long,
Consumed by that which outwits you,
Conceded to the temptation of wanting to please the lot.
You've been spellbind by your fears,
Made a prisoner to the whispering of your soul.
So, flow! Let a lot of you be seen
Trample upon that gigantic mountain of fear,
Break the shackles that keep you still,
Grow and heal,
Let His mercy fill you to the brim,
Let your waters be enveloped by hope.-
Hope for a new dawn,
A new beginning,
Where the language of humanity unites us,
And our hearts overflow with love for all
A world inhabited by selfless souls,
For that day, we yearn!!
