Patience

Sabr.

You are not alone in your struggles,
Look to those around you -

That man has no feet,
And you complain of no shoes?
Thy girl sees but darkness,
Whilst Allah has given you two beautiful eyes?

Consider the one whose lost her young child;
In a violent shelling,
Her hands are soaked with its blood,
As her eyes weep for the child she held,
She fed,
and whom she loved more than anything else.


Look at that boy,
Whose parents have passed by,
And he works and cleans,
Whilst his little sister cries,
With no food to fulfil the pangs of hunger,
With no one to cuddle her; hold her in their arms.


Have you seen the one who sees no light?
Trapped within 4 walls -
Away from their family for years on end;
Locked behind brass bars,
Tortured, oppressed, hurt and agonised.
