Ya Rabb, I'm always lost and I only have You;
so make me rely on no other being but You.

O spring of my life,
you slip away like sand
between my fingers,
cowering to whispers;
surrendering to whims.
Tell me, o my youth,
how would you stand
in front of the Majestic,
with sins as many as
the cells in your body;
as heavy as mountains
waiting to be measured?

“You can miss someone so badly,
but still don’t want them back”—
is such an emotion. Not so surprisingly
I can suggest something better;

“I can miss you and make du’a for you
every single day so we meet on friday markets
in jannah, have a chat and tea with our friends;
gift each other the kindest smiles we weren’t
capable of giving through the noise of dunya.”

Love,

Samahat

oh I'm gonna take such a sweet time enjoying this translated collection! So far its beautiful. Even the prologue had a line that said "just trying to stay alive, barely getting by, yet somehow they survive"

The moon asked today, “And where is the person you used to compare me with?”
