POEM ( Fortunate is He )

POEM

Fortunate is He

Fortunate is he
Who remembers Allah abundantly
Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway
His thoughts of Allah and Judgement Day

Righteous is he
Who prostrates to Him as though Him he can see
Whose deeds do not spring without Bismillāh
Fulfilling his tasks with perfect Taqwā

Devout is he
Who makes supplication to Allah intensely
Whose heart fills with mercy, is tender and kind
His gaze on the Ākhirah, this world behind

Prosperous is he
Who spends of his wealth on the poor and needy
Who speaks a kind word to his kin and his neighbour
Ever-grateful and indebted for Allah's Favours

Guided is he
Who attends to Salāt with punctuality
And extra Ibādah, Tahajjud he prays
For Allah's Pleasure and Nearness he craves

God-fearing is he
Who contemplates death, takes provision early
Whose limbs start to shiver as he reflects his demise
And tears stain his face over wasted sacrifice

Blessed be the pious
Who sing Allah's Praises fervently, tireless
Blessed be his slaves
Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon them, always.
