Day 4 (Ramadan Poems): Sam Said

I want that type of sincerity 

That revives my faith

Beautifies my soul

And chapter me in page one

Of Riad-us-Saleheen

Reminding me that all 

Deeds are by intentions  

I want the sincerity of the  

three men from Bani Israel  

Who used their sincere deeds as a means to  

Obtain deliverance from their predicament

I am longing for that of type sincerity  

That if my feet step into sin it takes a step back

Out of Fear of Him

I want that type of sincerity

Where God watch over me

Amused how I abstain for His sake

I want that type of sincerity

where my right hand keeps 

secrets from my left hand  

I want that type of sincerity

Where I worship Him 

Not taking my lust as a Lord

Beside Him

I want that type of sincerity

Where I feel save knowing

My appearance do not matter

My wealth do not matter

But my intention and actions

I want that type of sincerity 

Where Iblees finds it hard

To mislead me

Until I achieve that type of sincerity

I will pray I am included in

‘Except sincere worshipers of Allah’
