Before i go to sleep,
I think about you.
When i go to sleep,
I dream about you.
When I wake up from my sleep,
The first thing that comes to my mind
Is you.

I really do not want it
To be over.
You are not drifting further
But instead, you are getting closer.
I am praying really hard
That you
Can be mine forever.

It is funny that
I have this fear
That forever
Will never last.
Good memories drives me
To tears
As minutes by minutes
Time past.

When I feel lonely,
I close my eyes
And imagine you here with me.
My heart beats fast.
My eyes starts to rain.
No
I
Cannot
Take
This.
I just miss you
Over
And
Over
Again.

Want to be together but alone
Though your heart is made of stone
Couldn't share with you my thoughts
You were never that sure about
Your feelings , always so insecure
Used me like a stepping stone
So let's pretend and remind ourselves
That our need for love has grown
I kept saying " If you go, please let me know "
I want to move on but you keep holding on , dragging me along
It's just a make believe , why can't you see
You don't love me.

It kills me
Everytime you impose
Behind religious propositions
On interpretations you suppose

Take advantage of out of context quotes
And put on that holy pretext
Justify your poison
It kills me
When you give them a reason

They say that we're oppressed
Suffocating behind veils
And wear un-attractive bin bags
Shapeless and nameless

They say we're not allowed to be educated
And assume we can't speak English
That we're slaves to men
And we should forsake the medieval religion

The medieval religion that gave me life
And stopped female child infanticide
The one that treats me equal with no false illusions

The one that says that I should be respected as a person not a body
The one that first gave me rights
To vote and own property

The religion that commands me to seek knowledge and educate
To travel for this duties sake
And allows me to keep my name

Islam says that I should be covered
Like all things rare and special
Pearls and diamonds
You wouldn't flash your jewels for the taking

Nuns are admired for their devotion
And respected for their piety
Also clinging on to their modesty
Our models are Maryam or Mary

Not a cent that I earn has to be spent on anyone but myself
And the best of men in Allah's eyes
Is one who treats me the best

'O believers'
Pray
Pray my love stays safe
That happiness
And health
Follow her like a plague

It is the stubbornness of
A lover
For the sake of his love

She is the direction of my soul
The purpose for my prayers
The one who makes me whole

Give me your word!

If it wasn't for the compassion
Of my Lord
Then what would happen
To people with a fate like mine

What would happen
To the helpless
Without the mercy
And guidance of God's cover

Then this pauper
Would be deprived of her smile
I would not be and
This flower would not grow

I would not taste
The sweetness of love
Feel the beauty of this world
And wish love upon everyone
Like a precious gold
You have to know

So I give alms in her name
Cherish every moment
Hold hands
And use her fingers
To count my prayers
Like rosary beads
Sharing the good deeds
Because she is the answer
To a prayer answered
Before I even asked

*Paradise together is my ultimate prayer

How do I return the favour
And thank you my saviour
The relief you bestowed upon me
Took my grief
And gave me an answer
Engraved the path of my Lord
In my heart
Put the shine to the
Star of my fate
How do I compare
To the mercy you took
And the times you stood
Battled for my freedom
Mocked and ridiculed
Yet you strode forth
With love for me
Because I was amongst your people
The miracle of your gifts
Called upon to
Remove the blindfold of ignorance
Peace be upon you
