I lurked in the darkness of my sorrow
under an incandescent lamp
i sat sequestered from the rest of the world,

In the corner stood a bewitching monster trying hard to frighten me
terrorized, i lifted my hand in a short prayer
the figure in the distance had instantly become a mere speck,

The wind outside blew hard petrifying me
the shrill sound of the windows and the shadow of the branches
I lifted my hands and once again it all stopped,

It was my faith in Allah
and my trust in his prayers that strengthened me
vanishing all evil away from me!
