Thank you for making flowers,
An expression of Your Beauty
Thank you for Children,
A peek into Your Purity
Thank you for Mothers,
A manifestation of Your Love
Thank you for Fathers,
An evidence of Your Protection
Thank you for Laughter,
A glimpse into Your Humour
Thank you for Tears,
A hint to Your Compassion
Thank you for Pain,
A whisper of Your Calling
Thank you for Colours,
A splash of Your Creativity
Thank you for bird songs,
A melody of Your Sublimity
Thank you for Mathematics,
A proof of Your Perfection
Thank you for Galaxies,
A sign of Your Splendour
Thank you for the universe,
A display of Your Magnificence
Enchanted
I kneel down…. and pray
Yearning
I want to go Home

How could a people
In the midst of genocide
Still see beauty and feel joy
How could children
With fearful hearts and amputated limbs
Still sing, celebrate birthdays and play swing
How could the terrorised hum to drone sound
Turning the shrill of killing machines
Into heavenly music
How could a tortured face
Still beam with
The most beautiful smile
How could an orphan
Keep her eyes, shimmering in tenderness
and love
For humanity
How could a little girl who witness horrors
Retain faith, hope,
kindness and compassion
How could a boy who knew nothing about the sky
Except jets, bombs and death
Send his kite up to challenge F16
How could a mother who lost her eyes
Or her children
Still turn to God in gratitude
And pray
How could life
Push through death
Conquer and thrive
Victory is not measured by
The amount of death and destruction you cause
Rather it’s cherishing the light of your soul

Dear Most Beloved,
I brought me to You
In pieces,
Battered and betrayed
Mend me with Your Touch;
Sublime
Here I am, running away;
To You
Escaping the jungle below
Embrace me with Your Wondrous Grace
Majestic… Divine
I dragged my broken heart
Laid it at Your Door
Empty,
Shattered and flayed
Resuscitate
Relinquish of Your Heavenly Agape
Tranquil… Serene
Ameen

A refugee
My Beloved
Tear-filled
My Beloved
Knocking at your door
Seeking help
Seeking Home
My Beloved
Running away
From persecution
Bloodshed
Cruelty
Deception
Treason
and Betrayal
Would you please let her in
My Beloved

A blink of an eye
A frenzy spree
Between two dots
Birth and Death
Hello… Goodbye
We call
Life

.
Don’t gasp in horror as it rains blood and bones
Don’t get scared as red imbue the clouds and sky
It’s only the martyrs flying home
.
.
Don’t despair by the ashes all around
Don’t lose faith watching a livestreamed genocide
It’s only a small chapter in legendary tale, of love and joy
.
.
Don’t lose hope as the world turns grey
Don’t anguish watching babies burn
With Almighty God, no fear, no sorrow, no pain
.
.
Don’t be disheartened by the darkness of their ways
Don’t ever think God is uninterested or unaware
God only gives them time, assigned for a certain day
.
.
In which their eyes will gape, dismayed
Heart chilled and minds astrayed
The day they meet their deeds in person
Broadcasted to all, live, in 3D
.
.
Every wound they ever caused
They’ll feel with every atom of their being
Every baby they ever maimed
Will haunt them beyond the end of time
.
.
Every tear they cause to fall
Will be their own forever more
Thus is karma, a universal law
No excuses, no escape
.
.
“Chosen” delusion, inflated egos
Deflated down in an eternal Hell
Burst into nothigness, never to return
.

.
“Survival of the fittest” they say,
“Survival of the most adaptive” they say
In truth, I say
It’s survival of the most in harmony with the universe
Those who live in tune with its majestic code
Those who dance to its magnificent music
.
.
Those who tear when they hear its enchanting song
Those whose souls are intertwined with the rest of creation
Those who understand the Divine Wisdom behind existence
.
.
Those who oscillate in sync with all there is
Those who aspire to embody the most beautiful attributes
Of the One, Most Merciful, Most Sublime
.

A mother wails
Bemoans her child
Killed every moment
Of every day
Of every month
Of every year
For eight decades
Soul sores
Raging untamed
Wounds ragged and raw
Words avalanche
Unmanicured, unpolished
Deafening, no sound
Story untold
Biting her pain
Quoting their books
Pointing her finger
Screaming out loud
They can’t be “chosen”
They are a fraud
If her voice
Offends you
More
Than
Mountains of babies
Starved
Burned
Shredded
Crushed
Into oblivion
You need to question your moral compass

Did you ever hear
God’s whisper
In your ear
“I love you”
* * *
Smiling babies, dancing daisies
Climbing roses, shimmering meadows
Gifted for you
* * *
Did you ever notice
That secret message
Encrypted in Heaven
Painted in the sky
To get your attention
“I am thinking of you”
* * *
Did you ever
Feel God’s hands
Lifting you up
Holding you tight
“You mean so much to me”
“I will never let go of you”
* * *
Turquoise oceans, deep forest mountains
Golden beaches, hills and valleys
Spread out to bring joy to you
* * *
Did you ever
Watch God’s splendour!
Bestowed upon you
Tears fall down
Head on the ground
Spellbound, it leaves you
* * *
When all goes dark
When hopes fade away
No one around
No end in sight
Lo and behold,
Out of God’s kindness
A light so bright, glows inside you
* * *
Did you ever
Read God’s mystic letter
Flowing with affection
Signed with love, sent only for you
* * *
Did you ever know
How highly honoured
How much adored
By The One who
– Out of nothing, fashioned you
* * *
Did you ever
Feel God’s tender kiss
Enchanting you
Leaving in dazzling awe,
That wild child in you
* * *
Facebook video #254304743257055
Did you ever
Hear God’s voice; sweet, sublime, serene
A gentle stream, lilac perfume, morning dew
Mist and sunshine, solely for you
* * *
In the silence of the desert
In the pounding of waterfalls
In the laughter of Your children
In the stillness of the stone
I feel Your love, I hear Your voice
“Forget me not”
“Rely on Me, I am always there”
I thank You Lord, I love You so
Let Your will be always mine
* * *

حبيبي وخالقي وسيدي ومولاي
كن حاضراً في قلبي
إن سكت أو تحدثت
إن نمت او استيقظت
إن سكنت أو تحركت
إن فتحت عيني أو أغمضت
إن سعدت أو حزنت
إن أمنت أو خفت
إن أُكرمت أو أُهنت
إن دُعمت أو خُذلت
وإن رُزقت أو مُنعت
توجت عرشك في قلبي
فاغدق عليه من فيض نورك
يا حبيبي
هاك قلبي يا حبيبي لا يخفق الا بحبك
هاك عيني يا حبيبي لا تريا الا جمالك
هاك شفتي يا حبيبي لا تنطقان إلا بما يدل عليك
هاك يدي يا حبيبي لا تفعلان إلا ما يرضيك
هاك قدمي يا حبيبي لا تتحركان إلا إلى حيث تحب
هاك عمري يا حبيبي لا يمر إلا بتقديسك
هاك حياتي يا حبيبي لا تمضي إلا بحمدك وشكرك
هاك مشيئتي يا حبيبي لا تكون إلا مشيئتك
هاك روحي يا حبيبي لا تسكن إلا بجوارك
