My Beloved Mother​

​

Written By: Talib-Haider “HaQQ” Joseph​

​

Mommy, I'm sorry if my first letter made you cry​

To be Honest, I wrote it with tears in my eyes​

I know ever since you read it, you wished you die​

And I know everyday you praying to God asking why​

​

I know inside you feel you failed as a mother​

To be honest with you, I wouldn't ask for any other​

And you didn't favour any between us brothers​

It was I who walked away from the love you smothered​

​

Remember you will always be my queen on this earth​

I chose a path of truth for God had a greater worth​

I couldn't even bare to know how much you were hurt​

To know your son left you, the one you raised from birth​

​

You don't know the pain I bare from all the food you eat​

You don't know how I feel to see your soul just bleed​

And how you gamble for richness from all your greed​

I wish teaching you is easy as a flower, just one seed​

​

That's why I'm still living with you hoping for a chance​

Insha'Allah in heaven me and you will be holding hands​

Or walk through Mecca, performing Sajda on foreign lands​

Seeing a hijab on your head protecting you from blowing sand​

​

​

My Mother, I Love You for you are my Queen​

My Mother, I Love You now and forever​

My Mother, Don't ever think I'll forget You​

I Will Never, Never, Never.......​

​

​

I know inside your heart just weeps, crying yourself to sleep​

My heart is weak and my tongue don't have the words to speak​

Shattered Love numbs your heart for I know your love was deep​

I know you feel we're moving apart from week to week​

​

I sleep twisted with feelings and my mind drained in thoughts​

And you trained me hard to keep my soul inflamed with God​

I was on a quest for truth, that's why Islam gave my brain a spark​

So my soul reached out to God because darkness stained my heart​

​

Mother, I took this journey to God so I could be a better slave​

Only faith can save the tortures I will face in the grave​

And it is from the love you gave, was my powerful aid​

Without you in my life, my soul wouldn't have been saved​

​

Some may say you are ignorant, some may say you are blind​

But how little do they know, for what exists is a beautiful mind​

A Women like you, A Mother like you, a son cannot just find​

And how can these words express your kindness to mankind​

​

Nights Alone, Days at home; Ye Allah to thee I do Pray​

Mother, You are my sunshine when the clouds have turned grey​

Allah I do pray, one day my mother will pray to the way of Kabbah​

And let her sweet voice utter the words "La Illaha Illalah"​

​

​

My Mother, I Love You for you are my Queen​

My Mother, I Love You now and forever​

My Mother, Don't ever think I'll forget You​

I Will Never, Never, Never....... ​
