Praying for a Fellow Traveller

Nurul wrote an "Untitled" poetic ourpouring of her soul in search of Him in her blog today. I could feel the longing that she seeks, for I was once like her. Lost and misguided. Fallen wayward for a longtime. Alhamdullilah, Praise to God, by His Bountiful Grace, I have begun to taste the sweetness of remembering Him. Started to be conscious of the Divine Dialogue in the salat. I pray that God will bless her. To her, I offered these short verses of hope in God's Bountiful Grace (also to remind myself too).

O! Fellow Traveler
Do not despair in thy journey
Be steadfast like the good tree
With deep and firm roots to hold thee

Know that He has never forsaken
Nor wilfully abandon
the soul that seeks to strengthen
through His Bountiful Love & Grace

Continue to persevere in His Way
Pray that thou shall not sway
For the evil ones, dunya and rebellious ego
would surely make the travel slow

Heed the Prophet's counsel
Rise when the night is in the middle
Be awakened in the midst of those who sleep
and prostrate humbly among the conceit

In thy intimate conversations
Plead for His Guide
Implore for His Bountiful Grace
Beg for His Abundant Mercy
For He has proclaimed in His Book
"As for those that strive in Us
We surely guide them to our paths".
