When Eid is Near

This time each year

I spare a tear

For the One above

And to those I love…

Overwhelmed by emotion

Attracted by whim

Quelled by devotion

Of adherence to Him

Oh how I long to kiss

Soft hands of theirs

Of which sorely missed

Beyond compare

When Eid is near

Few things one fears

Of forgotten past deeds

That has ceased to bleed

Forgiveness is handed

On a golden plate

To those intended

And of righteous faith

Selamat Hari Raya

Moga tarbiyyah pada ramadhan bisa menjana semangat untuk 11 bulan seterusnya...

Yours Truly

A month it’s almost been

Been chained against my will

Impatient for my chance

Returning to your side

Let us rejoice together

For it is almost over

No more thirst nor hunger

Needn’t suffer any longer

Surprise, surprise surprise..

I see that you’ve not changed

A month has made you thin

But still very weak within

Vulnerable to sorts of sin

You’ve failed to materialize

The chance to shut me out

While others prayed and wept

You stayed behind and slept…

Opportunity on a plate

Through Heaven’s any gate

Yet you let it slip your grasp

A month you put to waste

Too bad you have slacked

Ramadhan’s almost past

And this time I’ll come back

Stronger than the last…

Yours Truly

Shaitaan La’natullah

Lost in thought-A quick reminder

One tends to judge
Sometimes too much
As our intentions vary
At rates of which are scary

But fear thy not
It’s threats are naught
Though lurk he might
Yet sorely lacking bite



As decreed in the Book
Where we often fail to look
Ramadhan kareem
Unless thoroughly embraced
Will but go to waste
...
In days of old
Of knights so bold
Neither hunger nor thirst
Deterrent to their faith

Steadfast and ready
Unwavering and steady
Though we aspire to be,
As great as thee
We can’t but envy


...
In the dark of night
Shivering with fright
A chilly wind
Reflection of sin

Teary eyed
A heavy sigh
Burdened by guilt
Shamed to the hilt

Forgiveness he seeks
For his faith so weak
Desperate, distraught,
Lost in thought
