Dust Is My Bed

Embracing me

and is my cover

the sands are around me..

engulfing me..

from all directions

And the tomb recounts (the story of)

the darkness of my calamity..

and the light has destined that

My plessure is

in meeting (Allah)

Where is the kindness of kin?

they relinquished fidelity

where are the scores of friends?

they dispensed

with my brotherhood

where is the bliss of money?

i left it behind

and where is the glory of fame

and compliments?

that's my end

Dust is my bed.

The beloved bade farewell

to his love

and cried my elegy..

the tears flow dried out

after crying

the vast universe shrank

narrowing my space

the tomb to my corpse

became

both my land and my sky

that's my end : dust is my bed

fear overwhelms my

estrangement

and sadness is my

ailment..

hoping for steadfastness

which is - i - swear - my remedy

sincerely supplicating

to the Lord

you are my hope

Hoping - o - Allah - for

a paradise, in which my

bliss shall be attained...
