Flower

Throughout the years

He’s been rambling

Wandering unaccompanied

From one orchard to another

Aimlessly eyeing for something

As though he has got the centuries

 .

He was probed

By the folks

When will the two legs discontinuing

Taking the next step of roving

In one of those gardens

As though the elongated journey

Doesn’t tire him

 .

As he striding hastily

Picking one flower

Over the other

But all keep fading

And the smell seems reeking

Leaving his hand impure

And his heart fragmented

Shattering his infinite hope

Of holding the veracious flower

 .

Indeed

The journey does tire him

To crave a new step

In each moment of time

Seems like

Wishing the snow

To stop falling

In the freezing winter

 .

But

There's always spring after winter

Day after a long restless night

Light at the end

of every dark tunnel

And a destination to every journey

 .

And as his two legs gridlocked

Seeking for a shelter

At an exquisite orchard

Where beautiful flowers blossoming

And the essences are like jewels

Decorating the air

Pleasing him and those around

. 

And today

As the sun merrily shining the day

and the chirping birds

are flying with a melody

He sent the blessed hands

To reserve the green flower

For a sacred day to come

For him to stop roaming around

And holding the veracious flower

Planting it gracefully 

in a house called Home

"Jise zindagi dhoondh rahi hai

Kya ye woh makaam mera hai

Yahaan chain se bas ruk jaaun

Kyun dil ye mujhe kehta hai"

Blossom

It was an awkward meeting

Just like the heavy rains

That fall in the midst

of sweaty summer

Though it was a small table

the distance seems like

We were at the two ends

of the world

And just like a good soldier

I was fully equipped

To stride in the chamber

To shoot and be shot

With queries and answers

But everything vanished

As words miss its vowel

And mind lost its calmness

Heartbeats were gasping

As if I was running

Chasing my own silhouette 

When these two eyeballs

Fall upon the thorny Rose

Fresh and untouchable

As if it was raised 

In a King's orchard

Guarded and shielded

As I was stepping in the Garden

Heart keeps battling the eyes
either

To behold the Majestic

beauty of the Rose

or lowering my wild gaze

As the Rose is blossoming

And as its petals shining

Wrapping itself with shyness

Leaving the thorns guarding

Its chastity and decency

Just as the Queen's red guards

Faithfully shielding the Rose

And at that very moment

I chose to look away

It was a brief meeting

But carries a lifetime meaning

Leaving the Rose's fragrance

Roaming around the air

Giving me a reason

To craft a new step

Treading to the King's garden

And humbly request for

The Blossoming Rose

To be placed in my Garden

And burgeoning here eternally

Written while in a journey

heart singsonging a lullaby - Yiruma : Spring Time

Who is Allah?

We were given an assignment by our teacher. We have to write one page answer to a non-muslim question's on "Who is Allah?". Rather than to let the answer to be buried with him alone, it would be good if I can share my answer here as well! Hopefully it will benefit, Insha-Allah.

As a Muslim, I believe that there is only One entity that creates everything. My life, the trees that grow around me, the cat that walks by my leg, the insects that live deep down in the earth – there must be something that controls and manages all of these and I believe that it is being controls by Allah.

I believe that Allah is the One and only God worthy of being worshipped. I believe that Allah is the Lord of the world. The Sustainer and Keeper of everything that exist. The One who sends all the messengers including the last Prophet, Muhammad SAW to the mankind. It is Him that sends down the Qur’an. The book of Guidance to all mankind – Muslim & Non-Muslim. The Book that has zero contradiction and full of miracles. The Book that lays down the process of formation of a fetus in a woman’s womb in detail. And the same Book that articulates the science of the stars and its orbit and many other miracles of science.

It is illogical to think that a human being can come out with all these stories in 1400 years ago. The only explanation behind this is, Allah. He is the One who reveals the Book to Prophet Muhammad SAW. Thus, I believe that only Allah is capable of doing everything. This may sound bias, but this is what I believe.

For example, who would believe that a tree can grow, die and regrow just like that? What kind of right mind can think that this world is a product of sudden explosion i.e. the Big Bang theory? Instead of it detonates by its own, why is it hard to believe that there is something behind this that control it? That cause the explosion to happen?

And why do I believe that there is only One God? Logically, there cannot be two chairmans in a company nor there can be two prime ministers in a country. If there is such thing, the affairs of the company or the country will be in disaster.

Instead of having two or more gods governing and controlling everything - in which we can perceive that the gods are not powerful enough as they need other gods to help each other, one God is way more realistic and rational as it shows the Almighty being and Supreme level of the only God i.e. Allah SWT.

Faizal Tahir - Sejati

Irony

For every move initiated

For every word spoken

For every step crafted

For every breath taken

For every blessing misused

And for everything else that I did

Paving a way of unseen

Diverting from the All-Seeing

Though He’s closer than anything

I keep fashioning a path of Shayateen

Enjoying every bit of sinning

Though the pleasure is transitory

And the consequences are ever-lasting

 .

I did what I did

To gratify my ravening desire

Fueling my burning greediness

Though deep in my soul

I know someone is watching

Keep writing

Uninterruptedly recording

Under the command of the Supreme Being

Every single bit-atomic-scale of deed

And with this consciousness

I keep paving on the wrong trail

Heading towards the hole of Hell

And like every other Muslim

As I am reading passages of the Qur’an

Scanning through verses of Ar-Rahman

I discern the Hell and Jannah

Aware of the Reckoning day

 .

But still..

My own desires

Incessantly dominating His

Laying my Reasoning

Enslaved by my own lust

 .

And still..

 I am eating

Drinking and breathing

Enjoying everything

That He has given me

From the moment of conception

Till this moment

While my fingers're freely moving

typing these words out

As I am breathing effortlessly

.

It’s just so Irony

That I have been using

God’s Blessings

As Tools of sinning

Disgracing my own self

In front of The Self-Sufficient

 .

Oh Allah!

Forgive me!

Will You?

Yiruma - Time Forgets

Bukit Bintang | 2PM | Sunday 

Buntu

Longlai langkahmu

Melihat tadbir hidup mu

Yang mengoncah kalbu

Terasa sesak dada beradu

Seolah tiada ruang mengadu

Hanya titik buntu

Mengikat segala sesuatu

Diri terasa diapungan lautan

Yang dalam tiada ungkapan

Kau cuba menyelam

Mencari jawapan segala kusutan

Namun dasar tiada kelihatan

Kau pulang kehampaan

Berbisik bisik nurani

Bertanya itu dan ini

Kemana pergi Ilahi

Mengapa diri selalu sendiri

Bilakan bahagia datang memanyungi

Namun Iman masih mendiami

Dicelahan kekusutan hati

Menerangi jalan berduri

Membawa mu terbang ke Ilahi

Menoktahi segala persoalan nurani

Meyakini bahawa Tuhan ada menemani

Mendakapmu tanpa kau sedari

Menuntun langkahmu dilorong berduri

Lantas tenang memayungi

Hati nuranimu yang suci

Berkata Tuhanku pada sang Nabi

Ujian Ku bagi mereka yang Ku sayangi

CintaKu bagi mereka yang bersabar hati

BahagiaKu bagi mereka yang mensyukuri

Jadi tenanglah wahai jiwa yang murni! 

Semoga terus kuat wahai sahabatku! 

It is He who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith. And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, and ever is Allah Knowing and Wise.

Morning Glory

الله أكبر, الله أكبر

أشهد أن لا اله إلا الله

أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله

.................

I woke up that morning

While my ears all hearing

Of beautiful melody being playing

Calling me off the bedding

As the dawn breeze keeps blowing

Filling the air with serenity

My heart is breathing

Feeling alive in worshiping

Like the blooming of morning glory

While the sun shows its tender

Akin the first morning of spring

This calmness clinches my soul

As the thought of Him grow

Cleansing my heart like the snow

As I read through His Book

Finding His gracious behind the pages

Like the first rain drop

After a long sweaty summer

Quenching the thirst of the wanderer

And that’s when I feel Him

The One who let my blood running

The One who let my legs striding

The One let my eyes blinking

As the moon needs the sun

To brighten up the darkest night

As the chirping birds need the tree

To build a home of serenity

And I’m the little servant

Who’s in need for a Master

  

P.s. - And You, My Lord, is my Master. 

"And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify,"

Relentless

I fall in a pitch dark hole
Not once
but countless moments
Though my heart yearns for Him
Action seems denying
I let myself drowning
Though my soul keeps breathing
I felt emptiness surrounding me
Covering my heart from living
I lost in my own life
Pretending I'm all good

I crafted my own steps
Heading towards awry direction
I keep questioning myself
Why can't I be honest to Him
Why am I keep looking for keys
While the door is awaiting
For me to stride in
Wide opened by Him

I feel like running
Unto Him
But I keep falling
From one hole to another

Though I keep failing Him
Though I keep breaking promises
Though I keep making excuses
He is still there
With arms wide open
Waiting for me

Deep down inside
I sense His presence
And I will keep
Trying
Striving
Struggling
To find my way back
Unto Him

Forgive me O Allah,
will You?


I know You will.
