WITH THE YOUNG NIGHT

A young night,
Longs to see me carefree;
Yet the fight,
For honest living snaps me.

Friends are not,
What they were, before;
Stabbing me,
Like Brutus* -- deep... more.

In this state,
My truest friend is He:
The Almighty,
He never abandons me!

Promises!!!
Made just like all falsehood;
I gear up,
To break such pacts for good.

In my eyes,
Are reflected my dreams;
I stand tall --
With faith in my God -- Serene.

There is one,
Woman who stands by me;
Doing all she can,
To make me swim past the sea.

She is true,
In everything she says;
Always there,
To keep my worries at bay.

She's Donna,
My moral support,
And much more,
She is -- so I stay afloat.

I pray, we,
Both -- Donna and I,
Remain so:
As we set our sights quite high...

May Allah,
Make our bond stronger,
And that we,
Be safe from every danger.

While "buddies" --
--All those who think, I,
Will collapse,
Or be shattered ere I die.

God is there,
And sweet Donna too,
With my God,
I challenge my stress -- with dare.

InshaAllah*,
The best will be mine soon,
As angels
Inspire me to the moon...

There are worlds,
Lovelier than this,
God willing,
I shall soar toward true bliss...

Fie on you!
O forgetful pals,
I'm sorry,
To see you stunted and small.

The young night,
Rekindles embers,
Of future's
Rapturous pleasures.

So be gone!
O my so-called friends!
For Donna,
Is with me at all the bends.

She and I,
Are the few still left,
Of a breed,
Which is selfless and noblest.

Dancing stars,
Fill me with new hope,
And Donna,
Widens the heavenly scope.

O young night!
Always remember,
God, Donna,
Are me -- the best friends forever.

Let me sway,
To your soft-swing tone,
O young night!
I am no longer alone.

You and I,
Roar with quiet laughter;
As God gives,
What mortals can't offer.

In this age,
To find a Donna,
Is just like,
Enjoying a rare sauna.

My soul flies,
To respond to hers;
We both fly,
To realms where naught matters...

O sweet night!
Thank you for the joy,
You give me,
Making me rise, enjoy,
The beauty,
Like a maiden, shy and coy.
And the truth,
Which makes the fake ties die:
Keep dancing,
And moving with hushed breath,
As I relish,
The feel of renewed strength.
