A Lightening Storm that Sings

A sharp bang it sang,

Which struck down with a loud pang!

Jagged across the sky like a laser beam,

What a streak to see underneath;
the black skies of old!

It lighted the heavens,

And extinguished the flames.

Forever in Jahanam!

Forever in Jahannah!

That is what we are told in legends foretold.

Signs of light seep in the dark abyss!

Showering down hail!

Keeping a tight grip of the rope of the Merciful Lord! 

We shall not fail beneath’s God’s hidden veil!
