*Not Your Look*


Not your look
Not your beard
Or the trousers
Not your Turban.

Not your pocket
The note from it
Not your beauty
The Hijab on you.

Are you that neat
'coz Arabs are white,
A black could be good
Have you seen Bilal?

Not your claims
Not your proofs
Everything you do
Taqwa is the core.

*I Only Said The Tesleem*


Before the iftar today
I walked beside the road
taking the right like Umar
Fling up my right hand
Around it was my wrist watch
Just five more minutes to go.

I raised up my head
The traces of the rays were fading
But in front of me not far away
Was another light from the left
Shade of rays, rays from light
Covered in sapphire of Iman.

Elegant, beautiful, gentle
Cool was how she looked.
I almost approached her,
Almost. Just ten more steps,
She's what I've been praying for.
Then I remembered it is not time,
But I registered my tesleem
And grabbed a copy of iftar.

*Some Don't Have*


Brother, I have seen
some
astonishing sights.
The bolts in the body of man
as loose like that of cars,
He shakes and staggers
as he walks the road like a fowl.

The head moves before the body
A look like that of a lion,
He's hungry.

They say,
'a hungry man
Is an angry man'.
In Ramadhan,
a hungry and angry man
must say: 'Inni Saaim'.

A Muslim is like a hungry lion
Brave as he fasts, but won't eat you.

Some have food, but cannot eat
Some can eat but there's no food.
Some complain they don't have enough,
While some wish they have like them.

Fasting has taught me
at every sunset
To always remember a man with no food.

*Prayer Zone*


I am that sinner You know well
No sin I have left untouched
At Your door I ring the bell
Let me not feel uncluched

I'll sit long on the mat
Till the day break from dawn
I'll rub my hands and chat
with You even if I yawn

In Your decree is all I trust
That a sinner you won't shun
If the pious' wrongs are dust
To whom will a sinner run

*To The Seclusion*


I grabbed my bag
Via the street of light
Into the house of worshippers;

I grabbed the book,
I will read only it
And you will read it in me;

By the time I'm back,
You will see and feel nothing

But

My cloth of taqwa;
My rosery of istighfar,
And my demeanor to all
will be purified even more.

*Far and Close*


So close,
But still, I'm afar
from my heart.

I've transgressed;
I've tasted the worst sins
Yet I believe in Your love.

I know, when I try to hide
from my sins, but I can't.
Sometimes, I think of sin.

But I trust in your promise
O my sinful poor servant!
Call on me and I will let.

*Litardhaa*


Not now
I'm changed
Not ever
I won't repeat

My axe
Up I raised
My leg's
On the plank
As I strike

My soul
Is in a relay
To attain your love
I'm back to you
After I'm lost

Wa Ajiltu ilayka

*This Night*



On a night
Of spitting rain
With swollen feet
On a thick rug

Under the rolling fan
Beside the window
With a sonorous voice
Reciting the Quran

With tears
Rolling down my cheeks
Tears of repentance
Ensuring forgiveness

How to seek the night.

*At Night Of Qadr*


She treads as I stride
On the path of the light
I'm the groom of my bride
Against our bed, we will fight

The sun of the noon that weeps
And the tears of the sky that fall
And now my heart desire seeps
By His feet my kneels will crawl

O Layla, Laylatul Qadr is here
The reason we have to hold
Hold fast for the future we fear
And this night pray like the bold

*Moving*


As the car keeps writhing
The car of the holy month

Some have dropped
It was their bus stops

Some more will drop
When they get to theirs

Sit down and very tight
In the day and at night

If you won't be firm
Just get down now

If you are lucky
Don't mess up

I don't want to alight
This month is warmly cool

My target is to the end and
another start after the end

*Laylatul Qadr*


I saw an angel fly
Maybe 'coz I felt high,
Or the sunset blocked my view
But after it another flew.
Wings seeking peace from the Ghafur
And many more ooze from Ma'mur.

Again i was scared like then
My first night in the lion's den.
And after I felt some peace
My smile was filled with bliss,
For I remember this night is one
Descending will they till dawn.

O mighty night of fate
At your gate I've come to wait,
Some fates I know are black
But mine is no more dark.
My friends with me in the mosque
Till dawn we won't rest on bosk.

Ghafur.... A name of Allah, meaning the forgiver.
Ma'mur... The ka'bah of the angels above the sky.

*Circle Of Adhkār*


In the circle of Adhkār
When the mosque was ajar,
Our minds to Dunya's afar
And beside me was the czar.

The repose we felt was cool
Like a lay beside the pool.
The breeze was pure than yule
As our talk wasn't of drool.

Descended and unseen they were;
And the wind their wings will stir
to comfort our minds on chair,
And peace all over they'll share.

You promised to remember them
And their plea you won't condemn.
Be pleased with me, I - hem,
My cry and chant with poem.

*O My Lord*


O my Lord!
Here I come
Bow my head
Below Your throne
To You alone.

You know me well
More than myself.
That your slave
Sunk in sin,
I am lost.

Though was lost
But now I'm back.
Your door I knock
So hard with tears
Open Your door.

If You dust,
Away my sins,
Who'll challenge
What You do?
Pardon Your slave....

Oh Allah!

*Your Go Is A Ko*


The water pipe behind my eyes
The beating drum inside my heart
The ways my legs shingle at night
At the moon as you go has caused a ko.

For how long will you stay away?
Just tell me your re-entry date.
How would I live after you're gone?
O my love, don't do this to me.

I was lost like a fool until you came
My life is doomed if from me you sway,
Will you live me alone to whine again?
My days and night without you will be lame.

A man died some years ago
But his touch was all in his wife; You know?
Won't thou imprint in my infirm heart
The piety of romance and the fear of love?

I won't; No, I can't stop your locomotion
Though with you, my heart feels to motion.
But I know; if Allah wills, I'll be waiting
for you. This time, this month, next year.
Bye, Oh beloved Ramadhan.
