My Vice Questions and Your Wise Response

Even as we feel pain over the belated reply, we shall remain persistent in our plea to the Most Merciful –– insists Mujeeb Jaihoon.

‘O my Him!’

I shall not ask You why
The reason for this delay

I shall not ask You what
The fate of what I sought

I shall not ask You when
The wonder will happen

For, all these impatient W’s:
Are the Devils’ Games to seduce

‘O my Merciful Him!’

Faith I have nil in my tears
Flowed through all these years

Why believe my aching heart
Pounding since the very start?

All my hopes are on Your Compassion
The least I trust is my discretion

Therefore, O my Dear Creator!

The more belated is Your Reply
The persistent shall be my plea

No matter whatsoever be the pain
I will pursue my smile sans any grin

No matter whatsoever be the sorrow
With much joy shall I readily swallow

Ya Rabb!
I am the repenting Son of Adam
Angels can only envy my freedom

Therefore, O my Dear Creator!

Show Your Mercy
On this intelligent fool
Drown him not
In the disheartened pool

Consider. Answer.
Now. Soon. Ever.
