Return to Fitrah

 

 In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Assalamualaikum

As I lay awake in the middle of the night,
I looked out of the window into the white moon light.

I found you there,
looking so radiant and bright.

We share the same Rabb,
and we share the same light.

But tell me how is it that you always manage to stay faithful to your place,
while I keep trespassing the bounds that have been set for me at a crazy pace?


Tonight, before your great beauty I stand,
with my head lowered in great shame.

Dear self,
humble your tired soul,
and return back to the Lord you have so long ignored.


Blessed is He, who has placed in the sky great stars, and place therein a burning lamp, and a luminous moon. [Al Furqan: 61]
