Sonnet 9: What Would You Rather Be
Be an honest sinner
or a perfect fool?
A fearful worried repenter?
or a silent breaker of rules?
And verily all sons of Adam are sinners
The best of them are those who repent
God created everyone imperfect
The rules of His creation were for no man bent
When a lie is told, an odor will derive
Angels stay far from this stench that they hate
70 fornication sins are equivalent to one lie
Untruthfulness has an awful fate
The beauty of Islam is that hope for change persists
Therefore turn and repent for perfection on this dunya does not exist
