:salam2:
As not many of you know,but some do.I had been sick for the past fortnight even hospitalised and was in the ICU for 2 days.Those two days made me realise some things.I wrote them in a form of a poem,I hope you all will like it insha'allah,though I am a bad poet lol.
In the name of Allah,The Most Gracious,The Most Merciful
"O reassured soul,Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],And enter among My [righteous] servants.And enter My Paradise."(Qur'an 089:27-30)
The night was still and dark.
No soul spoke then,
for slumber had spread its blanket near and far.
The night was still and moved with me,
as I stood,bowed and prostrated,
facing The Unseen Who is far yet near.
Masked by my movements,
I thought I prayed,
and throughout the stillness the whisperings played.
Whisperings,
heard yet ignored.
As the pair danced around me,
in the arrogance of that night.
There came a meek yet mighty touch that shivered my soul.
Was it a thing,
or just the wind?
I dared not to implore.
It crawled onto my skin,
making my heart shiver and cling to my soul.
WAS IT DEATH?
WAS IT NOW?
I dared not to implore!
Now it was,yes,NOW
I thought!
My hands and feet grew cold.
My destiny...undecided,
the paleness of my face,so
the mirror told.
Struggling to hold on,to catch every breath I could,
I strived to make my wish.
And when I knew what it was,
the numbness in my soul,
plaused.
It was LIFE!I WISHED FOR LIFE,
which all my life I unwished for.
Of that cold place,that dark hole,
the gate to eternity,
I was so unsure.
There I sat still and cold,
like the nation of Pompeii had before.
Then came the sweetest sound,
heard yet unheard of before.
The birds did chirp,the sun shone.
Time to stand and bow again,
to recite and prostrate again.
The call for prayer did I hear again.
My heart did beat again,
but what for?
I dared not to implore!
Another night of dread?
Another fearful path to tread?
The days passed in numbness,
the nights in fear.
Just when I was,
at the abyss of my life,
there came a ray of light.
A word of hope,
sweeter than any poets' lore.
The glasses shattered.
The gates crashed open.
The light filled the horizon from shore to shore.
Nothing remained but Thine light!
Light upon Light!
Oh! The heart is now overflowing with Thine joy as I read Thy word,
more soothing and embalming,
than a lover's kiss.
As Thou sayst to me,YES TO ME,Thou sayst::
Indeed,it is We who give life and cause death,
and to US is the DESTINATION.(Surah al-Qaf:043)
Hearing Thee I respond with silence.
How can I ever respond to Thine words
O! Incomparable giver of life?!
Dumbfounded
I stand before Thee.
Thine love overflowing through my eyes.
I bow to Thee.
How oblivious I was?!
My soul belongs to Thee,
and Thou art its final destination.
Realisation has dawned upon me.
The stranger I am.
Strange is my journey.
Real is my destination.
