Your eyes are a sea in which my ships lost their way,
My heartbeat and breath thrown into turmoil.
I am one whom neither lightning nor thunder can shake—
How can two radiant eyes defeat my steadiness?
Allah the Almighty says in His Hadith Qudsi: 'I am as My servant expects Me to be.' Have full faith that the hand raised in supplication never returns empty-handed, and that Allah hears the sighs of your heart even before the words of your tongue."
I raised my palms to the Lord in plea,
While the soul within my chest was heavy and worn.
I told Him that I have carried such sorrow,
That even my tears can no longer bear to hold.
