Fortunate is He.
Fortunate is he. Who remembers Allah abundantly. Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway His thoughts of Allah and judgement day |
|
Righteous is he Who bows to One he cannot see Whose deeds do not spring without Bismillah Fulfilling his tasks with perfect Taqwa |
|
Devout is he Who supplicates to Allah intensively Whose heart is merciful, tender and kind His gaze on life after, this world behind |
|
Prosperous is he Who spends his wealth on the poor and needy Who speaks a kind word to kin and neighbour Ever-grateful for Allahs favours |
|
Guided is he Who prays Salah with punctuality Early morning, Tahajjud he prays For Allah's pleasure and nearness he craves |
|
God fearing is he Who contemplates death early Who starts as he sees his demise And tears fall over wasted sacrifice |
|
Blessed is he Who sings Allahs praises fervently Blessed be all of Allahs slaves Allahs mercy be with them always |
