The blessed at our doorsteps


You have come you have come 
o honorable guest
to wash our sins away
You have come you have come 
as a blessing and a test
to reach for His love we may

You prevent us from our evil 
and shine bright the good that we have
Locked away are all that’s deceitful 
so everything is up for grabs

You have come you have come 
o blessed nights
filled with remembrance
You will come you will come 
o night of might
may we not let you pass us away

Therein we received our guidance 
the Book which in it there’s no doubt
The emergence of a nation 
the nation of he who we love

Will you stay will you stay 
o blessed days?
in our hearts forever
Will we meet you again in another time and place
our beautiful Ramadhan

Being Imprisoned...

"The one who is (truly) imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah, and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him."
-Ibn Taymiyyah-

I'm imprisoned
by school,
by culture,
by photography,
by football,
by the internet,
by technology,
by songs,
by Hollywood,
by delicious food,
by the NBA,
by sports,
by fun,
by money,
by desires,
by life...

The things I think I like and love
Are actually a web of traps
Wasteful things
To eat up my time, my soul and make me lose my way
Distorts me from being noble, righteous and free

Freedom is just a few rejections and steps ahead
With a hard head and hard heart,
Let us conquer life, rather than be conquered by it!!
