If you’re happy be sad
For this joy will end
If you’re sad be glad
For this grief will mend
Let the ups and the downs
Fashion smiles and frowns
On the length of the arc’s
Where it’s at my friend

Hidden
Try as hard as you like
The real treasure will be hid
From tongues that mock
And eyes that gawk
And hands that raise the bid
Posture all you want
But Khalid know the truth will win
The day when tongues
And hands go numb
When eyes see all within
The real treasure will be hid
From tongues that mock
And eyes that gawk
And hands that raise the bid
Posture all you want
But Khalid know the truth will win
The day when tongues
And hands go numb
When eyes see all within
Crests and Troughs
Sometimes it comes with ease
Like snow upon the trees
And everything’s just enough
Sometimes it’s voices rising
Enthralling, appetizing
And everything’s for the nafs
Like snow upon the trees
And everything’s just enough
Sometimes it’s voices rising
Enthralling, appetizing
And everything’s for the nafs
Enwombed
From the womb of a mother
To the womb of the earth
In the womb of Al-Qadr
Berthing for birth
To the womb of the earth
In the womb of Al-Qadr
Berthing for birth
Floating
You words are like
A boat my friend
So be at peace
And be content
With every harsh rebuttal, it
May be that those who scuttle it
Mean well lest you
May float unto
A far more grievous end
It’s never too late to mend
A boat my friend
So be at peace
And be content
With every harsh rebuttal, it
May be that those who scuttle it
Mean well lest you
May float unto
A far more grievous end
It’s never too late to mend
