My Work - PoetryIllumination in the Night of ExpatriationI was alone.Yet I was not alone! Allah was with me in every moment of remoteness. In every misery He bestowed upon me a pleasure. At every ebb He granted me a full tide. His sweet Quran wiped away my tears And filled me with courage. In the still of the night I chanted the beautiful verses And felt inside me the flicker of the flames of lamps, The smell of aloe-wood and agalloch And sensed inside my being a waterfall of light and roses. I was alone. Yet I was not alone For Allah was with me in every moment of remoteness For Allah does not forsake a loving worshipper. Cardiff, 1987 |
