دموع صامتة

وما تسقط من دمعة الا يعلمها الله
كل دمعة خوف
كل دمعة الم
كل دمعة حزن
دمعي صلاة

صمتي صلاة

اتيتك يا الهي مثقلة بصمتي ودموعي
طرقت باب رحمتك
وافرغت همي على عتبات كرمك
حنانيك يا رب
حنانيك يا ذا الجود والكرم
حنانيك يا ودود يا ذا العفو والمنة

فليتك تحلو والحياة مريرة
وليتك ترضى والانام غضاب
الا ليت الذي بيني وبينك عامر
وبيني وبين العالمين خراب
اذا صح منك الود فالكل هين
وكل الذي فوق التراب تراب

هاك قلبي دكه دكاً دكا
افدي به خلقك وارضك
هاك قلبي انثره ذرة ذرة
وفي زوايا الكون بعثره
عسى ان يورق املاً
ويزهر حبا وعطاءً

Silent tears

Posted on July 24, 2020 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Not a tear falls but that He knows it

Every tear of pain

Every tear of grief

Every tear of fear

84831866_2579645542270345_6372261841124458496_n

My tear is a prayer

My silence is a psalm of praise

Darkness descends

All encrypted doom and gloom

Run soul run, run away

O dear God, frantically I run to You

Burdened with my silence

Loaded to the brim with void

Drowning in an ocean of tears

I knock at the gates of Your Mercy

At the doorsteps of Your compassion,

I dump my agony, empty my grief

xxaa

O Most Compassionate

O Most Kind,

Your pardon, I thirst, my Beloved

A sprinkle of Your kindness

A touch of Your grace

“Wouldn’t I wish you’re pleased, even if life is bitter

Wouldn’t I wish you’re satisfied, even if others are annoyed

If only what’s between You and me is flourishing

Even if what’s between me and the world is a ruin

If your friendship is intact, then all is good

All that’s above earth, is dust”

Here is my heart, I give it back, grind it down

May it’s agony be a redemption

Here’s my heart, take it back

Scatter it’s atoms far and wide

In all eleven corners of the universe

Of it’s anguish, may hope sprout

May love grow and kindness bloom

Show me the Way

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Dear God

Ten years ago, I sent you a letter

Innocent, hopeful, trusting and pure

I gave me back to You

“Dear Most Loving

Here I am

An empty vessel

Lift me… Fill me… Use me

As You wish

My will is nothing

But Yours”

Today, I am back

Crawling on my knees

Knocking at Your door

Empty handed

Disillusioned

Overwhelmed

Dumbfounded

Broken

Bruised

Brutalized

Filled to the brim with horror and pain

Seeing evil in the eye, how could I not be?

I thought I’ve seen it all, before!

What a fool!

Dear Most Kind,

I knew it would be a rough ride

But, really, not that rough!

Dear Most Wise

I am not asking you “why did You create evil”

I know You didn’t!

You just bestowed upon us freewill

Dear Most Loving

I am not asking “why don’t You stop them”

That means taking their freewill away

Dear Most Graceful

I am simply asking You for guidance

In this ocean of wickedness and gloom

What do You want me, little old Nahida, to do?

What can we in the Camp of Goodness do?

How can we stop this evil, once and for all?

Show me the way

Show us the way
