Poem: Read My Mind

By Abu Abdullah

My prayer is to die a mu'min
Not just a Muslim
Buried in the clothes I die,
Never washed, my wounds fresh

My prayer is to wake up
With my wounds still bleedin
Incensed with musk like fragrance
With my face filled with radiance

My prayer is to see abu qassim
Smiling at me with abu bakr
Mentioning me to abu hafsa
Uthman, Ali and ibn abi waqqas

My prayer is to meet mus,ab
Glowing in his garden
Earned with his efforts at uhud
Having borders with julaybib

My prayer is to be ushered
Into a garden with large-eyed maidens
All mine! O’ fiesta
No pain, no siesta!

My prayer is to go lounging
Chillin on suspended sofas
With floors made of marbles
Underneath flowing stream of laban

My prayer is to go camping
Strolling near the banks of al-khauthar
Seeing from afar the place of abi dharrin
Ibn mas,ud, ibn abbas and ibn umarin

O’ Allah, accept my prayers
Knowing You know my mind
My brother and sister, say amin
Cuz I know you read my mind!

Mindfully yours
Abuabdullah
