Najma's Notebook

Destination Qabr

Ya Allah I pray
my bones and core
be drenched in dhikr

as they disintegrate
turn to dust – they emit
the fragrance of dhikr

as my insides melt away
become one with the earth
may it be infused with dhikr

At destination Qabr
may my body decompose
from every pore emit dhikr

Let the fragrance
of tawhid flow
let the earth mellow

Welcome my body
enfold in homecoming
with a breeze of jannah

I pray Ya Rabb
my destination in Qabr
Is warm and welcoming

A glimmer of hope
of my subsequent end
beyond the barzakh bend

For iman I pray Ya Allah
Giver of falaah
beyond doomsday
