Jannah

Everlasting tranquility. Indeed!

For the sun, moon, and all celestial bodies in one

Would not compare

For what will be in the Heavens above

As we walk

Tall, Mighty, and Proud

Lo! And behold

Rivers turning to honey

At our request

Our disposal

Limits non-existent

Relishing our palates

Its royal sweetness

Majestic in nature and divine in thought

Heaven’s grace

Certainly beyond we sought

Lo! To the east

Them we have seen

Handsome men donning garments of thick green

Moses, the beloved

Jesus, the blessed

Peace be unto thee all! O God’s Messengers of the best

Comes another man

Running to us in glee

His smile radiant

His fragrance aromatic

Rosy complexion, a garden of Eden ever seen

Pearly white teeth

Enough to blind the sun

Long mubarak hair

Flowing down his broad shoulders with great care

Dearest Muhammad

Peace be on thee! Ya Habib Rasulullah!

Transfixed by his beauty

Our facial expressions perplexed

Heart and soul mesmerized

Trapped into piercing eyes

He grabs us in delight

Embracing in a tightest of hugs

Neither desiring release each other

Long overdue tears of joy

Abundant in cloudburst size

Endlessly pouring down both our eyes

The eminence of His Creation. Indeed

By dawn, By morning, By night

All attributes across twilight

Would not compare

For the One Who Swore upon Time

Most Exalted Most Praiseworthy

Promising His Servants this fate

To live in the worlds

Transcending time and space

The Very Sight of His Beauty

Beyond comprehension

Amplifying in magnitude

With every stare.

In the end all worth.

A lifetime of suffering

Vanished.

Forgotten.

‘Travelers’

‘Station of the Wayfarer’

Words of the past.

For eternity

Resting lavishly

In our abode

Domes of gold

Palaces of chrome

Engrained and set in stone

Luminous aura greater than that of Solomon’s Throne.

A final destination

Our final fantasy

No longer a fantasy.

A Reality

Home.
