The Lighted - مناور
Selfless and unconditionally loving
Your presence is what my heart is yearning
You are the gift of my life
For without whom I’d lose my light
I pray, I be the mother you are
That my kids grow up around you
Nurtured by the same warmth and embrace
You give me
You held my hand
And lead the way when I was young
But now, you’ve released your grip
Letting me fly
Whilst ready to catch me when I fall
You held me when things were rough
You taught me that He alone is enough
My Light, My Guide
You are the reason I’m here
Never have I seen a perfect embodiment of one’s name
In your rahm, you bore me
The rahm, you continue to embrace me in
At my worst, at my best
Now, then, and forever
Just when you thought you lost
You morphed to inspire
I feel defeated at times
Only to be comforted by the thoughts of you
You sacrificed your young years raising us
Discovering love whilst loving us
In your own unique way
Somewhere in this
We both grew
You grew to be my superhero
I grew to be like you
Only your love is worthy
Worthy being on the divine spectrum of love
Only your love is the closest
To His Love
They say I sound like you
That is all I want
To be you, to emulate the Nur you were in my life
The reader of my mind and heart
By the look on my face
You know what is in my heart
You tend to my wounds
Like none other
You put me first
Give me the best
I pray I find your hands rest
Those hands that wiped away my tears
Bandaged my bruises
Taught me my first steps
I pray to hold them tight on your golden days
Taking care of you the way a Queen is
The possibilities of this world are endless
For you, for me
Let’s treasure our moments together
Where time suspends indefinitely
Perhaps it may be our last
Let’s hold it close to our hearts
When you and I depart
I’ll miss you and you’ll miss me
I pray our love transcends dimensions
And that we reunite in Jannah
For eternity
Under His watch
As Sisters
Heaven lies beneath you
Your prayer never goes unheard
So pray for me
And I will for you, as always
Who deserves the best?
You
You
You
Just you, Amma.
