When a person fears Allah
you can tell
How many times a day do you ponder
over Hell?
And whether you enter it
and stay
Or whether you’ll be released
after you pay
You can see it in his face
and in his eyes
In what he will cling to
and what he will despise
In what is the center
of his attraction
In how he defines the word
satisfaction
In how he stops to think
before an action
In how he hates spiritual
distraction
In how restless is his
relaxation
In how his thikrullah
is his favorite vacation!
