To One Day...

SubhaanAllah – Glory be to Allah!

To one day hear that all was not futile,

To know that the heart can now rest

and all the tests are over,

The weights have been lifted,

The measures recorded,

The road ahead clear and sharp,

The walk ahead easy and quick,

To know that the wait is finally over,

To be on the other side,

And look back in wait to see

Who else from your loved ones

Will be joining you; freed

To stand my ground

And breathe in the most beautiful scents

To look around and see 

All the beautiful souls at peace

To be absolutely happy

The likes of which 

Could never be imagined

To hear my Lord say – Go!

Your sins have all been forgiven

And to Heaven is thy decree

And in Heaven shall thee reside!

SubhaanAllah – Glory be to Allah!

To hear those words be uttered to me,

To have them etched beyond just in my heart

To have them actually be made my reality

My heart and soul, mind, body and everything

It truly pines, and it awaits its destiny

In forbearance and repentance

In hope and in faith

It thrives and it waits

Inn Allaaha ma’a’Saabireen

For indeed, Allah is with

The patient ones.

Ameen.
