As the world became black and dark,
And the sky stitched with twinkling stars.
Silence pervaded,
And sleep invaded,
The consciousness ,
And dream emerged out of sub- consciousness,
Amidst this stillness,
Echoed the sobs and whimpers....begging for forgiveness.
They were the souls who abandoned sleep,
In order to make their Lord please,
When HE came down to lowest heaven to meet,
Who were they to deny such mercy and not greet,
The Rab of all Aalameen.

Coldness of night and warmth of bed,
Didn't matter to them,
As their sole purpose was to become AR RAHMAN ' s friend,
Nothing to hide & nothing to pretend,
Dungeons of heart made open ,
Souls on their way to get healed & transcend.

Night's darkness surrounded them ,far and near,
None to hear & wipe their tears,
But it was neither darkness or loneliness they feared,
Cause everything disappeared ,
When  before their Lord they appeared,
To unburden their souls,
To purify their hearts to the core,
To be blessed with more than Jannah was their goal.
The goal which was to see HIM with their naked eyes,
Just the mere thought of this made them bawl out crying.

No words could describe,
Their feelings ,their plight.
As souls which were unknown to the world,
Just anonymous ,& whose voices unheard.
Were among the privileged few,
To be blessed to be attendants when the barriers between the Rab and abd was reduced,
A time when no dua was refused.
O how unbelievable it seem,
The feeling that ' My Rab choose me',
To converse ,
Someone who in sins was submerged,
Someone who people averse,
Someone whose presence or absence was similar affair to the people,
Someone who often succumb to the tricks of Evil.
But these souls were not someone to HIM,
Rather they were HIS special Abd for whom HE descended to listen,
Their misery , their rants,
Their whispers , their chants,
& Wipe off their tears and let the tranquility to be implant ,
In their hearts,
Which was once broken apart,
But now enlighten with  the love and mercy of HIS,
O at last! parched souls found their oasis.

When all activity ceased,
These souls bow down to receive,
The joy of crying in his presence,
The only blessing that in Jannah would be absent.
Their eyes that cried ,
Their lips whose whispers reached the Heavens High,
Their legs on which they stood,
Which they use to run to do good,
Their hands that were raised,
Their hearts that beated HIS praise,
These were HIS beloved slaves,
Who prayed for HIS love ,& HIS closeness what they craved,
And when they will be raised ,from their graves,
To be passed judgements on their case.
Their eyes, lips ,legs ,hands ,heart & soul,
Will give testimony of the role ,
They performed,
O how blessed they were to be adorned ,
By those,
Who in the mid of the night arose,
To please and to get close ,
To their ALMIGHTY,
Who held onto iman and taqwa tightly,
Who cried at night and at day smiled happily.
These were the souls ,
Who ALLAH adored,
In Sha ALLAH will grant them homes,
Near HIM in paradise,
And bless them with euphoric bliss of seeing HIM with their naked eyes.



Bismillah
