Clear

Bismillah..

Footsteps heavy, treading the muddied walks

heavier still when the mind talks

The rooftop sways with the changing moon

shape-shifting shadows beneath the eerie gloom

foresee this, she says

come into terms with what could and couldn't go away

the challenge hangs after her words

would you be brave enough to lead those herds?

seek protection and trust

learn to find it in a pile of dust

secrets kept

so that a property of a mukmin locked safe

I accept this, O Allah

as a lesson from You

that life is always two steps forward

not in anyways backwards

throwing back this challenge

I dare you to be weak

I dare you to doubt

be wise

because you're not just an abid

you're also a khalifah

your words, O mukmin

"A true mukmin is those whose brother is saved from his hand and tongue"

- - -

I dare you to be serious
O khalifah
in protecting, in guiding
not only for one life
but of more

"muslims are of one body. If a limb got hurt, the pain would course throughout."
