بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
There are times in your life, you feel estranged from the universe,
Standing amidst false ecstasies, everything seems almost rehearsed,
I now fathom what was meant by "The world is a prison for the believer",
It is nothing but a beguiling deceiver,
"The essence of true happiness lies in the connection with your Lord" they say,
But maintaining that connection is the question often forsaked,
Suddenly in the depths of such confusion, some tribulations come heading your way,
Is this a test or a punishment? These thoughts pierce through your brain,
Is this trial bringing me closer to you or just pushing me away?
My Lord I need you, I feel so alone and afraid,
One tiny slip is all that it will take,
I now realise what You meant by "Take one step towards me, I'll take ten towards you",
Taking the initial step is by far the hardest thing to do,
I ask you for strength and for courage Ya Rabb,
To fight my own demons, to defeat the rejected one,
Verily you are with the patient and so just as one of your beloved had said,
'I will be patient till even patience tires of my patience' these words are embed.
In sha Allah
