Firm As A Rock

Khalid Mukhtar · August 6, 2022 · Leave a Comment

You float up the nile
An infant delight
Get raised as a prince
And then comes the flight

A fugitive off
In a desolate land
Till comes the nubuwwah
With blood on the sand

The tyrant won’t listen
The signs are not heeded
And time is against you
But you do what’s needed

You lead them away
Down into the sea
The hordes of the tyrant 
Won’t let you go free

But you’ve got your faith
As firm as a rock
Bismillah the sea
Gives way to your flock

‘Alaykum Salaam
