Micropoetry

Exert

Khalid Mukhtar · June 4, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Obsess with doing all you can
Then leave the outcome be
A blessed intersection of
Effort and destiny

Believe when your effort includes
Your hands raised up in prayer
That they by every sense you lack
Return laden with khayr

Rancorous

Khalid Mukhtar · May 29, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Don't let your rancor
Lead you astray
Until you see
The night as day

Let cool submission 
Dispel the clouds
And warm repentance
Return them gray

Till Rahmah reigns

Stop looking for signs, khalid
What signs do you need
While your heart keeps on beating
To the drum of tauhīd

There’s only One Master
Of a soul that is freed
By a heart that keeps beating
To the drum of tauhīd

Thanking

Khalid Mukhtar · May 24, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Thank Him for each comfort
And every form of bliss
And there’s no end to thanking Him
For thanking Him like this

Sea

Khalid Mukhtar · May 16, 2021 · Leave a Comment

The sea was parted for you
That you may recognize
How prophets seek assistance
From well beyond the skies

The sea then came together
That you may understand
The end of tyrants lusting
For power in the land

The guest has left, the void returns again
The fire of this longing burns again

My weak efforts to praise You are
Like pebbles in the sea
They hardly make a ripple where
They fall

To generate a tidal wave
Of generosity
My Lord when you’re responding to
My call

You are waiting to forgive
Ya Ghaffār

You are waiting to give
Ya Wahhāb

You are waiting
Ya Sabūr

You are
Ya Hayy

You
Ya Allah

Let my heart beat with tawhīd
Until my veins pulse with tawhīd
Make my soul by Your Word
The blazing fire repulse with tawhīd

Lord let me not fall into the abyss
Of self-aggrandizing ignorances
