He Uttered

I was looking at his eye
I was trying to remember an old story
An old play that we used to play together
An old time that we used to remember together.
In laughter, joy and trivial memories.

I was looking at his eye
Trying to scream, “Let me in!”
He uttered nothing, and in silence
A reply responded ,” The law shall prevail.”


"O Allah, praise is to You. You have clothed me. I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what it has been made for, and I seek Your protection from the evil of it and the evil of what it has been made for."
