Dustbound

Khalid Mukhtar · August 15, 2022 ·

You know all that garbage you spew
There’s a reason it came to be
And if you had paid attention then you
Would undoubtedly come to see:

You alone are the greatest sign
That you have a long way to go
Sit down in the dust poor khalid a while
It’s purer than you’ll ever know

Surf

Khalid Mukhtar · August 14, 2022 ·

Beware the currents of doubt
And the undertow of kufr
Sometimes it's not enough
That you can swim

Somewhere Deep

Khalid Mukhtar · August 14, 2022 ·

Put that secret in a chest
Lock it up and toss the key
Somewhere deep is always best
Choose your well or find your sea

That’s the key, now to the chest
Bury it with naught below it
Somewhere deep inside your breast
Where heart won’t suffer brain to know it

Show Yourself

Khalid Mukhtar · August 13, 2022 ·

Hope is in His Nūr
Hope is in His Name
Hope is looking for the ones
Who’ll play its hopeful game

It’s not that you lose hope
It’s you that must be found
For Nūr seeks out and floods each soul
That to His Name is bound

So say His Name my khalid 
And show yourself my dear

Mendicant, See

Khalid Mukhtar · August 12, 2022 ·

Repentance is to see
Through well-abluted eyes:
Rebellion is blindness

How blessed then to be
A mendicant who cries
In awe of such a kindness

Good Hosting

Khalid Mukhtar · August 8, 2022 ·

Give every fir’awn in you
A sea to drown within you

Firm As A Rock

Khalid Mukhtar · August 6, 2022 ·

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

Quietly

Khalid Mukhtar · July 29, 2022 ·

The peace that we long for
And the hope that we seek
Lies in those who prefer silence
When the ignorant speak

In Focus

Khalid Mukhtar · July 27, 2022 ·

If everything is from Him
How can you ever think
He turns away from you
After sending you a trial

Soldier on never doubting
His attention is upon you while 
You struggle under loads
All meticulously chosen

To break you up
To take you up
For that chalice filled
To wake you up

Tasbeeh

Khalid Mukhtar · July 26, 2022 ·

All creatures in existence
Of every size and hue
Amid the deeps and shallows
Of brown and green and blue
Each has its solemn tasbeeh
To keep it true and through
And you have yours my khalid
If only you’d let you
