Jag som arab, som muslim, verkar ha det i generna, att älska och uppskatta poesi. Här kommer en underbar dikt om vad vi söker. Skriven av Yaha Naqvi
It is You that I seek, let me speak in your tongue
Allow the hearts of the meek to shine brighter than the sun
On those days when I’m weak remind me who’s the one
And when they launch stones of hate, be my shield ’till they’re done I walk lonely in a world that has forsaken peace
Your birds comfort me with songs as I stroll beneath
I wish to be like your birds, the chorus of your mercy
In the ocean of benevolence take my soul and submerse meSet me ablaze with the truth, so I can start a fire
Provide me with a ladder, so I can climb higher
I take note of the cold and bleak human condition
Be the blanket to my spirit, so I can carry my missionUnder Your vast sky and clouds that provide
There is no place I journey without you by my side
Grant me success, so I rise with pride on the day of resurrection
Make Your moon my lantern, through your stars give me directionIt is You that I seek, let me speak in your tongue
Allow the hearts of the meek to shine brighter than the sun
On those days when I’m weak remind me who’s the one
And when they launch stones of hate, be my shield ’till they’re done
