Ecstatic Ascension
Me’raj-ul-Mo’min
The time has come for me to pray,
I set aside my work and play
To the prayer room I make my way
To perform that which will bring success in my day
Ablution I do, to purify within
Wash my face, asking God to hid my sin
Wipe my arms pleading to Him sincere
Receiving my book of deeds in the left, I fear
The last I do before I stand to pray
Is wipe my feet, God don’t let me sway
Let the places I enter be pure and clean
Not places that are rejected by my Deen
