I
Miss This Person
In
how cautious is
his enjoyment
In how particular he
is about his employment
In the direction in which he casts
his glances
In how when it comes to his soul
he doesn’t take chances
In the secretive way
he shares his money
In eman he finds a taste
much sweeter than honey
In his poverty to Allah
he has found Richness in His Pleasure
In his emptying his heart in repentance
he has found forgiveness beyond measure
In his isolation with his Lord
he feels overwhelmed with the company of blessings
In his hatred of jahiliyyah
and fearing a return to a life of transgressing
In how taqwa is his imam
not his desires
In how clear and lofty are the goals
for which he aspires
In how he tames his stomach
and incarcerates his tongue
In how readily he submits to the truth
when it’s brung
In how he smiles at the believers
and frowns at his sins
In how smooth and loving he is with his wife
knowing that gentleness always wins
In how he ponders over the creation of his Lord
increasing insight and joy
Fortifying his faith with tawheed
knowing what shirk can destroy
By Allah I love this person
and love to watch and count his ways
By Allah I miss this person who
seems so rare these days!
