Too long have they been cushioned by
The hearts they’ve trampled on
How will these feet survive
The razor bridge
My hands are free
Reach out for me

Allow me Lord to find the Night In which my hopes and fears dissolve Into the highest frequency Of Nūr infused with iron resolve

A heart untouched by poetry Submerged in Word Divine One little sip from Kawthar can Eclipse the sweetest wine

The hearts that filled at Badr
The tongues that stilled at Badr
The blood that spilled at Badr
By hands that killed at Badr
Three hundred some believers
Set out to build at Badr
What Allah willed at Badr

Don’t let: my seeing make me blind
My hearing make me deaf
My thinking make me lose my mind
My dying bring me death

How strange the lodgings
You afford Your slaves
Where they are prepared
For what they will be
The one you bear
Upon the waves
To a tyrant’s palace
From which to flee
The other you send
Unto the waves
And into a beast
In the vault of the sea

I ask you, Lord, for all these things
I know so very well I don’t deserve
For health and wealth and maghfirah
And knowledge that You give without reserve

Song of the Thirteenth
I’ve broken some hearts
I’ve hurt some feelings
I’ve said some things
That sent folks reeling
I’ve raised my voice
And spoken harsh words
I did what I did
To make myself heard
Then I walked away
From all those ruins
And never once thought
Khalid, what are you doin’
I dread the day
When I learn my ways
Gave those I wronged
The final say
Allah grant them khayr
Allah make their homes
Green gardens where
They can freely roam
Rabbighfirliy warham

Allah, I make my plea
In these blessed words
Of Your blessed Nabi:
You are the greatest forgiver
And You love to forgive
So forgive me
9-11-1442
My sins like a dusty leaf Your forgiveness like dew at dawn My sins, the dark of night Your forgiveness, morning song
