Thaw

Let warm istighfār
Melt icy stubbornnesses
Into submission

5 upon the floor
They all serve 1:
2 4 4 3 4

A riddle by the sun

Pour

Khalid Mukhtar · January 8, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Hearts and minds
Created as signs
The greater the pressure
The more they withstand

Time and space
Created for Grace
The more Nūr you pour in
The more they expand

Wandering

Khalid Mukhtar · January 5, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Come now heart
Don’t wander
But if you must
Don’t squander
The chance to stop
And wonder
At what came of
Each blunder

Times and Place

Khalid Mukhtar · January 4, 2020 · Leave a Comment

There are times for grit
And times for grace
And times for red-turbaned
Swagger and pace

But to know the time
Know your place

Holding On

Khalid Mukhtar · January 1, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Hold on for
As long as you can
So letting go doesn’t feel
Like the end anymore
It’s the start
Of an intricate plan

Illumine

Khalid Mukhtar · December 28, 2019 · Leave a Comment

In the depths of understanding
Hearts ruminating
Find not understanding
Illuminating

Flow

Khalid Mukhtar · December 27, 2019 · Leave a Comment

This refuge
Must be sought
Like an ocean
To be got

Seek it, khalid
Travel
Like waters
Over gravel

Afloat

Khalid Mukhtar · December 27, 2019 · Leave a Comment

The whirlpool of doubt
And the calm waters
Of certitude

Close Your Eyes

Khalid Mukhtar · December 25, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Close your eyes and let this be
Another opportunity
Just to see if you can see
A little better

Be a shame if you are blind
To the treasures you can find
Once you understand your mind
A little better
