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
