Long Praises Without Pebbles

Poet: Ismail Junaid Oluwadamilare (Paciolo Pen Saint) I refuse to blame Blaming is a temptation I only want forgiveness, Utter long praises without pebbles From the calamity of yesteryear When; Misery was overwhelmed, Sadness burnt fiercely, Calamities of religions negated Protruded souls with panic, Brought vulnerable damages to the eyes of our faith & hope, Harm to the best servants, In the pleasure of tyranny clash I see it as a little feast from His generous leg. The affliction came as a reminder - scrutinized the pest within us. I only want to utter long praises without pebbles For He, who does not thank the blessings of him / how will he thank the blessings of Allah. *"Alihamdulilahi" is not enough (It meaning is greater than what it fulfills).* Let me adorn myself in His praises So he does not deprive me of satisfaction. Let me sail through the sea of words, Follow the sweetest words & letters, From the wave of yesteryear wanted to seize the boat of today Capsize the rows & oaths in shame. Words compete / phrases clash To organise the contract of Thanksgiving Here in the place of Thanksgiving I stand, Spread it banner over my head & pillars, My soul is great - it's a free attitude. To you alone who take the ride of souls, I deserve to raise your name above (for every thankfulness has a poem - every success has thanks & strings of appreciation). Through the note of breeze, Scent of flowers, From the depth of depth I say "Alihamdulilahi". From your gentle smile that sheds the beauty of its light in the darkness of our hearts Wipe out our worries in it. From your tender touch That explode in our hearts A fountain of hope in this cruel life. For the stars looming in your abode above ours Whose brightness does not diminish from us a single moment We're happy with their cheerfulness So we say "Alihamdulilahi"
