A Tree

I wish I were a tree
Bowing with the wind
Obedient to Thee

Arms reaching upwards
Intertwined with my brothers
Seeking Your rewards

How the trees always seem to be
Peaceful with each other firm
Branches interlocked in unity

I wish I were a tree
United with my brothers
Undivided peacefully

I won’t ever be a tree
Always sinful to Thee
Thus I beg You forgive me

I can only learn from the trees
Try uniting with my brothers
Worshipping You united peacefully

Jalal Ibn Sa’eed
