My friend who reads the stars says:
There will be thunder and lightning today
Along with pelting rain and angry winds.
I can also see these signs
Quite visibly in the afternoon sky
Thousands and thousands of miles away
From where my friend forecast all this.
I am also worried about another friend
Who is quite depressed and feeling bored
Even this friend is beyond the mountains
And the seas and rivers, beyond my reach.
I have no fear or worry bothering me
For I have put my trust in God Almighty
In whose control is everything
That is destined to happen.
It is Friday and a very holy day
For Muslims all around the globe.
We have to pray while some have
Already done that and are praising God
Silently and secretively
Without making a show of themselves.
I love the thunder and the lightning
I love to bathe in the heavy downpour
I love the cackle of chain lightning
Followed by the roar of the clouds
Like a thousand lions glorigying God
I love the changing moods of June
And the floating breeze of drizzle
Moving like a thousand fairies in flight.
What have I to worry about?
As long as my most merciful and loving God
Is with me at all times.
Love of God is the best panacea
Against fear, depression, gloom
And even age-old superstition.
Let us ask ourselves very honestly:
"Do we really love God Almighty
More than we love ourselves
And all the things we covet?"
If the answer is in the affirmative
Then let us all be relaxed and calm
And let go of our worries and cares
In the merciful love of our God.
Love of God is the truest love
And it is a repellant of all fears
Evil, worries, anxieties and woe.
So my friends beyond the seas
Let us enjoy the mild weather
And brave the gusts of snappy winds
And cleanse ourselves with a good bath
In the pure and refreshing rain water.
Let us talk to the birds as the flit and float
In the gliding wavy air
And share smiles with flowers
Wwlcoming the mercy of God
Swaying to and fro in the wind.
Let us not be just bookworms
Or television freaks
Come, let us enjoy all that
Our loving Lord God has to offer:
Cool wihds ahd rain on a hot June day.
