By Your Side (an Islamic Poem) by JimsonJaat001(m): 9:01am On Jan 22, 2016
Meditation shows it to me
And I panicked
Cosmic consciousness reveal it to me
And it trouble my spirit
Suppose I was there,what would I do?
As active as quick silver
As agile as a cat
Yes,as angry as a wasp
As bold as a lion
Ay! As brave as Achilles
My body,my bones,my blood,my spirit,my soul I would have committed

I remember it
When the days was grey
When the religion was young
When Faith debriciates in Man
When Man doubt the promises of his Creator
When the fear of unknown shattered man's heat
When Man is as zigzag as lightning
As unstable as the wind
As unreal as a dream
As unsteady as the ocean

By your side I would have loved to be
When Man cannot defend his belief
When fair fearness of Fear conquered Courage
When imperfection truly show in Man
When my brothers died for their beliefs

On the very place of Badar war
Yes,on the very sand Hud was fought
I would have fought to the last water in me
Till my hands cannot lift sword anymore
Till my body stands no more

By Allah!
I swear I would have been there
I would have told Abubakar that all would be well
I would have encourage Ali that it will soon be dark
I would have told Hamza to endure a little more
Oh! The King of Arabia
I would have run around the world in errand for you
It would have been the greatest honour to wipe your sweat
Fight by your side
Seeing the inside colours of the unbelievers with my sword

But wait.......
Will courage fail me too?
Will my belief fray?
Will Faith run out of me?
The third eye shows it as clear as crystal
And I weep
I wept for my brother trying to catch his last breaths
With his dry lips,still eyes
He kept gasping for life
Trying to fight it if he can live to fight another day.
