Jannah: Paradise:

Close your eyes and imagine this

Eternal bliss,

your every wish,

at your finger tips

and more...

Perched on a throne, near a stream

So serene, and exquisite a scene

You've never seen

Yet you still dream

of more...

Gone is pain, gone is fear

Gone is grief, gone are tears

Idle speech you shall never hear

And the Prophets make up your social sphere

and more...

The martyrs, righteous and truthful too

You are from them, and they from you

They held tightly to what they knew was true

and To join them, you did too

there’s more...

Maidens, chaste, who restrain their gaze

Lost in a glance for days and days

Fun and frolic, as a child plays

Where the breath that leaves your lips is praise

of the One who gave you more

Imagine you and your father, with ages the same

Imagine showing off your book with no shame

Imagine nights with the sahabah, with their stories to entertain

Imagine Muhammad (Sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) knowing your name

What could be there more..

Gardens underneath which rivers flow

A goal so far, and yet so close

A journey worth taking, for those who know

Tell me Do you not wish to go..

for more?

For all the bounties, all the grace

All the sights and the smells and the tastes

Will be forgotten, without a trace

as if frozen in time and space

When you see His Face

What an excellent Master, of a miserable slave

You forgot and He forgave

He gave you guidance, and you still strayed

You asked for mercy, that He gave

and more...and more..and more
