Far Away

As the wind blowing

And the trees growing

As the birds ’re twittering

And the days fleeting

Routinely running

Uninterruptedly rolling

Amidst the normalcy

There's a heart aching

Longing and wondering

In a dark solitary desert

Created by his own fancy

Walking aimlessly

Searching for a diamond

With a clue but no answer

In his lifelong journey

And again

He stumbled at the juncture

And as the distance

Flaring and broadening

Pushing the wanderer

Away from the shore

Drowning in his own fantasy

In the middle of the ocean

Gasping for air

Leaving him despair

Hoping for a miracle hand

To come and snatch the wanderer

Away from the wilderness

But hey

Who's moving?

You or Him?

As the steps breaking

And the ocean deepening

As he keeps walking

To the opposite route

Away from his God

Forgetting, neglecting

To the unerring veracity

Of the one to be titled

A Creator and a creation

A Master and a slave

And still..

the audacity hitting

You felt far from Him?

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ

"and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein"

Qur'an; 50:16

P.S ..written partly in the sky, partly on the earth.
