Eid Saeed

Day in day out
I rushed about...
Day in day out
Without a doubt...

Time went by
I watched it fly...
Time went by
While here I lie...

The seasons turn
I grow and learn...
The seasons turn
For HIM I yearn...

Tomorrow then
I said each day...
Tomorrow then
I hope I may...

HE watches me...
Buzzing like a bee
HE watches me
Hoping I will see...

This world is frivolous
We may think it fabulous...
This world is frivolous
It is so ridiculous...

Yet I fettered on
Like an endless yawn...
Yet I fettered on
And now I see it's dawn...

I lay my tired head down
HE watched without a frown...
I lay my tired head down
In my last, my final gown...

To HIM I returned
HIS head will he turn...
To HIM I returned
For HIS look I yearn

Take me in!
Take me in!
Take me in!
Take me in!

I supplicate.
I beg.
I pray.

I squandered life.
I went astray.

But here I am.
Yes here I am.

It's me!
Dear GOD...
It's me
I say...

Take me in...
Take me in...
Take me in...
I pray...


(One of my favorite Nasheed... It has inspired me in some of my highest and lowest times)

very true.
but alas, these thoughts R there on such special occasions and disappear in the worldly rush.

This world is frivolous
We may think it fabulous...
This world is frivolous
It is so ridiculous...

Shahnaz,

My first comment was just supposed to be a light hearted poke based on a few random posts I had read on your blog. But since then i took the time read some earlier posts. I just have to say that You Go Girl..Just enjoy life to the fullest and keep up your high spirits...I admire you and look up to you for your strength, courage, kindness and free spirit. You have my blessings and best wishes in everything you do..:)
