Chasing Dreams

I wished so many things once
Chasing dreams doesn't keep them from escaping you
If necessary the whole world will crash down around you to prevent you
They will tell you without telling you
This you covet is not yours and your heart lies in claiming it
The result does not depend on your acceptance of reality
And reality does little to sway your resolve
Dreams fade and evolve
And the disappointment of not attaining them is short lived
The possibility and hope in dreaming is sometimes more valuable than the dream itself
But dreams can be limiting and constricting
The unimaginable, the qadr of our Lord, surpass our desires
We dream for the moon and He promises the heavens
We plan and He plans...
and Allah swt always gets His plan

Remembering to Remember

You showered your blessings on me
Favored me over much of your creation
How can I let my heart break when its supposed to be only for you?
I wont let the joy leave me heart not matter what the test
La illah illah anta
You've preserved me and concealed for me what I conceal
You forgive when I repent
How can I ever turn my face?
My heart yearns for you, quench it
Satisfy me so I'll never remember dissatisfaction
Subhanka, inne kuntum mina dhalemeen

A dream

Under the blanket of my Lord's brilliant night sky I dream
My heart content and my body cradled
I dream in ease away from harsh reality
Softness of sleep in comfort I dream
Showered in the mercy of Allah
Guarded by the soldiers of Al Rahman
I dream a dream

Sadeeq

[So do not lose heart, and do not fall into despair; for you must gain mastery if you are true in faith ] (
Aal `Imran 3:139)

How much do I love the sky...

I love the sky
It is mostly beautiful
In the morning and evening it smolders and flickers with fire and blossoms
In the day and night ships sail through it to the winged sailors delight
Its hue is a pallet of richness and sensuousness
Its days are for flying and its nights are intimate cover
I love the sky and I love the Lord that made it so
It's purpose for the believer is to gauge the prayers
And to witness along with its Lord those who wake for worship in all its hours
It testifies that it is one of it's Lords signs
In its beauty and splendor above mankind with no suspenders
Patently baring the pain of a billion piercing stars
Adorning the sun and moon
Bring forth their fairness and splendor
None with intelligence can deny the many praises of the sky
Alhamdulillah
