My Hope

When the night draws close

And its blackness envelops me,

I won’t fear, I won’t be afraid,

For I shall feel your proximity.


When my strength crumbles,

Like mountains perish in the sea,

I shall be empowered by you,

As my love for you overcomes me.


When I’m lost in a maze 

Where every turn is a dead end,

I shall not fret nor worry,

I have you as my guiding friend.


O Beloved, you stand by me

Through every shade and every hour,

What can the vicious winds do

When I am sheltered in your tower?

-Abu Esa Hashmi

اللهم صل على سيدنا ونبينا ورسولنا وحبيبنا ومرشدنا وصافينا محمد صل على عليه وسلم
