S.L.E.E.P.Y * E.Y.E.S. By: Ayesha bint Mahmoud – London, UK Al Jumuah Magazine - USA O sleepy head! Do not make haste for bed But after Salatul Isha Crave for even more Thawab (Reward) And stand with me for a night prayer O sleepy eyes! Do not fail to realize As your lids start to close Your last breath may be near-just suppose! Better then, to stand for the night prayer O sleepy soul! What burdens do you hold? This longing for respite To sleep all through the night Your night prayer will revive you untold O weary self! You are bestowed with good health You are passing through life With! ! wealth and keen sight Owe Allaah a little thanks then this night O supple bed and carrier! You stand as a barrier Between me and my Lord Your comfort stirs discord Do not kindle your warm welcome for me! I have preferred the hard floor Therein lies comfort much more On the dust hard ground Allaah’s Nearness is found How blessed is the nightly prostration! |
