The peace that we long for
And the hope that we seek
Lies in those who prefer silence
When the ignorant speak

If everything is from Him
How can you ever think
He turns away from you
After sending you a trial

Soldier on never doubting
His attention is upon you while 
You struggle under loads
All meticulously chosen

To break you up
To take you up
For that chalice filled
To wake you up

All creatures in existence
Of every size and hue
Amid the deeps and shallows
Of brown and green and blue
Each has its solemn tasbeeh
To keep it true and through
And you have yours my khalid
If only you’d let you

What greater act of Divine assistance
Than a wayward slave broken by sin
Finding himself time and time again
Drowned in despair but not sinking
Losing his dusty way and thinking
There is no return no way back
To where the path opens wide
For every seeker that’s died
Looking for hope in thistles
Unfriendly on the outside
Yet deep run their roots
In unwavering search
For another chance
Touch them khalid
And for heaven’s
Sake be sure to
Wince a little
By way of
Thanks

To give from Allah’s gifts
By Allah’s leave
For Allah’s sake
Is all you need to take
