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

A Sinner…

There are tears rolling down my cheeks
tears of blood
there’s a wretched feeling in my heart
a grip so tight
I can’t bear it
am I heading the right way?

somewhere in the walk of life
I think I took a wrong turning
is it too late to go back
and set things straight?

While the rest of the world is deep in slumber
my soul begs me to pray
I put my forehead to the ground
and let the tears flow
there is only One who will understand me
and to Him alone I turn

A prayer I whisper, only for Him to hear
the wretched feeling eases
the grip slowly lets go
assurance spreads through my heart
and comfort blankets my soul

It is the remedy for all I feel
prostrating to my Beloved
It is a remedy for everything
Having faith in my Creator

In the Darkness of the Night

In the darkness of the night, when the rest of the world stands still

deep in sleep

I put my forehead to the ground, eager to spend a moment with my Beloved

Not a bird chirps, nor can you hear the wind, silence takes over the universe

The perfect time for a conversation with my Beloved

It is time

I spill my soul to my Lord, the Most High,

The All-Hearing, The All-Knowing
