Hope

When on my beautiful couch i lie,

And hateful thoughts enwrap my mind,

Frightens me as the morn frightens night!

In wonder i asked to God one night-

Is suffering bound to the nobler mind?

Allah in quiet of night doth reply-

This world is full of miseries and strife,

Be patient and strive for paradise,

Whose road is hard and full of trials,

Each trial a test of faith and mind,

Having hope in ‘Me’ Allah says,will cure your illnesses of life,

Thus light of hope in my soul shines,

As Yaqub(a.s.) whispered to Allah in quiet of night,

You’re my support in every plight,

So Allah is my hope,strength and guide,

Now in times of despair i smile,

The words of Allah are imprinted on my mind.
