Knots

Khalid Mukhtar · September 8, 2023 · Leave a Comment

You're broken and sad
And feeling quite bad
The tears spring forth from a sigh

Your chest is constricted
Your lips cannot stop
A whimper becoming a cry

This grief comes like rain
And falls where it falls
E'en deserts get their share of showers

Take heart in the faith
That this too shall pass
In seconds or minutes or hours

The prophets were tested
Like no one before
So know that your grief is a trial

In shukr and hamd
Send salawāt galore
Upon him for a little while
