Morning Sounds - mohsie - 04-11-2005
Assalaamualaikum
I'd like to share with you all today this poem I wrote a few weeks ago. I originally wrote it in Urdu, and gave it to a sister, from whom I have learnt the essence of being a Muslim, learnt to pray from my heart, and thus, learnt to fall in love with my Deen, and Allah. She also taught me poetry, and helped me a lot to improve my Urdu, which was really rusty from when I learnt it about 17-18 years ago! She got married last week, and is stepping into a new life. Please make dua's for her that Allah make it all easy for her inshallah. Anyways, I just translated the poem into English, so inshallah more people can benefit from it. Please excuse my translation if it is not the best. I'd share the Urdu version too for the Urdu speakers of this forum (who may be able to translate it better), but that version is not mine any more. Anyways, here is the translated version...
MORNING SOUNDS
Early morning some sounds echoed
Someone was calling out to me,
But not by my name.
Was someone calling out to me,
Or just making a declaration?
When my eyes opened, I saw
There was no one in the house.
When I checked by touching,
The alarm clock hadn't gone off
And there was darkness all around.
Listening intently, the voice came again.
Again someone was thinking of someone.
Then I thought of him too.
There was darkness all around,
Yet I wanted to go meet him.
I thought of him and said out him name.
Even in darkness, everything became visible.
I threw my blanket off the bed
And started standing on my feet,
When someone started whispering,
"You are very tired,
You are very sleepy.
What are you doing?
Sleep. Its still night.
There is darkness all around."
The morning sounds echoed again.
"Come for prayers. Come for prayers"
These sounds were calling out to me.
"Come to flourish.
Come to flourish."
Shaitan started whispering again,
"These sounds are not calling you.
The caller is someone going crazy.
You don't have to do anything.
You don't have to ruin your sleep."
"Prayer is better than sleep."
Now who should I listen to?
"Prayer is better than sleep."
On one side, Allah's Callings.
On one side, Shaitan's whisperings
"Allah is the Greatest."
I finally got my answer.
"There is no God but Allah."
I went to perform wudhu
And prayed my Fajr prayer.
I thank You Allah,
Today I'm alive.
I thank You Allah,
Today I'm well.
Today I have Allah in my soul!
