Will the misery continue till I cease to exist?
When the angel comes will I want to resist?
It’s only for Allah that I really persist…
This life…
I got no proper direction
It offers no protection
Just one lonely soul y’all
Roaming in the darkness
I need someone to guide the way
Someone to offer kindness
I don’t want to spend my days wrapped up in worldly plays
Yet I don’t want isolation, no matter what anybody says
I want to feel contentment in the things that I do
I want to feel they’re worthwhile; I want to get my due
I don’t care if it’s now or in the hereafter
Because I know where I want to go, it’s to the creator
But whilst I’m in this prison I need somewhere to spread my wings
Away from the contaminated life we breathe, I need my soul to feel at ease
Don’t want to be soaking oppression with each lungful of air,
Don’t need the barbaric torture, I know for sure its there
So do you believe me when I say, this life offers no protection?
Its misery upon misery, corruption upon corruption
Unfortunately we have nothing, with which to cancel them out
No mercy, no compassion, just enmity and doubt
I feel like a caged bird but I think I’m ready to fly
I need the wind under my wings, to see life passing by
But I don’t want to be part of that desired ‘essential beauty’
The mansion, the Porsche and the plasma screen TV
I need simple simplicity, not lavish luxury
Just me and my wings for when my Lord calls for me
Just me and my wings for when my Lord calls for me
And as for the onewho fears standing in front of His Lord and restrainsthe soul from impure evil desires and lusts, verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]
‘Say: He is God, the One and Unique;
God, the Eternal source and support
Of everything;
He begets not, and neither is He begotten;
And none is His equal.’(al-Ikhlas 112: 1-4)
masha Allah excellent poem. I can so relate to it. I am starting to love this section of the forum. It is amazing how many poets we have in our midst. Alhamdulilah
