By Rayhana
In the still and quietness of the night
where the glimmer of dawn is still far from sight
and the birds and the bees
are still resting from a day's flight
and so many others are snuggling tight
A humble servant of God Almighty
detaches himself from the luxury of a blissful sleep
and the softness of his satin sheet
just so to submit before God in prostration
body and soul cleansed with ablution
Tahajjud and Taubah, the solah to perform
reciting the Holy Quran and zikrullah all night long
Angels from above come in droves
to witness these great acts by this pious soul
who humbly sheds tears in sublimation
For fear of the wrath on the day of resurrection
while fervently hopes for God's grace and forgiveness
And God, the most Merciful says, He forbids the fire of hell
from touching those eyes that weep in such stance
Hence, winning Jannah, the ultimate abode is never by chance.
