Won’t you be my God?


Won’t you be my God?




Oh my beloved who I long to meet!
Oh my beloved who I long to greet!
Whichever way my river flows,
I rest assure that my Allah knows.

I tried so hard, and left it all
Passed every test, be it big or small.
Won't you then, God, come to help?
To prove this love, God, that I have felt?

I need your help, and I know you see
My faith is weak, most definitely!
I guess theres nothing left to say,
But, won't you be my God today?

Time


Time


To see eternity in an hour
And infinity in the palm of your hands
You need no physical power
Save to humble yourself as you stand

To witness Divinity for real
And to see the ecstatic light
Remember that to love is to feel
And follow that which is right

To stand through hardship affirm
I implore to ask from the heart:
"Where did He go for Him to return
He was in us all along from the start!"

A path we use as a way
A companion, for the journey ahead
So let us not waste this day
And seize every moment instead

Once again


Once again

All my life I searched until
I became the mirror myself
And through your fountain my life did fill
With an array of spiritual health

Xibalba has a place in your heart
And is a mirrors job to reflect it
So when the truth stares you in the face
It is not your job to reject it

The fountain of life is faith
Across seventy-three acres of land
I offer once again, my dear
come, and take my hand

Let us pray for His Grace


Let us pray for His Grace




Oh men of knowledge
Why can't you see?
Allah brings to witness
The smallest flea!

So tell me how
Would be the day
We wouldn't have anything
In our favour to say

And our hands and feet
And our eyes and ears
Will speak of our works
Done over the years

Tell me how you'd fare
This judgement I tell
When a date is the difference
Between Heaven and Hell

Tell me how you would fare
When the judgement is done
And intercession won’t help
Neither father nor son

Tell me how you'd fare
When your works will be bust
And the guilty will wish
That their bones were the dust

But we have to know
And we have to pray
That our sins are forgiven
On judgement day

I pray He emits
The sins from our case
I pray for His Mercy
I pray for His Grace

I pray He give us
The time to amend
And the time to make Him
A warm-bosom friend

I pray He admits us
In this paradise place
Let us pray for His Mercy
Let us pray for His Grace

Heaven on Earth (funny)




A few years ago, in the heat of Ramadhan, I was sitting in lecture and all I could think of was this.


Heaven on Earth



As silence dominates the room
And as I hear the pin drop scream
Nothing goes through my mind except
The thought of Krispy Kreme

Maybe a Chocolate Sprinkle today
As my double glazed eyes look around
And imagine the oozing filling inside
It is Heaven on Earth I have found!

Belief


Belief


In His name do I start
And start is all I will
For to finish is surely to end
Before our bellies have had their fill

A spiritual hunger has taken
What was left of my soul to grasp
And fed it such words of truth
That can never imprest a mask

I perceive; a humble i
That belief is a state of mind
For ones actions are as a result
To the morale one's brain is aligned

I can not help but stress
The time of departure awaits
Oh criticizers, listen well!
Hear good the words I relate

But words are made up of letters
What matters is how you perceive
And practise these traits within:
A definition itself of belief!
