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