Poem: Hold My Hand

With The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful~

Hold my hand my friend, don't ever let go.

Hold My Hand

Hold my hand,

Oh my true friend,

Even if I'm down,

Even when I'm falling,

Don't ever let me go.

You're my true friend,

Love me*,

Scowl me,

Assist me,

Punish me,

But don't ever hate me,

All for nothing else,

Except for the sake of God Almighty.

Hold my hand,

As brothers together we stand,

Moving forward,

Changing the ummah*,

Shifting the world to a better land.

When 'The Day'* comes,
Where there is no assistance,
Except from The Almighty,
May we be the chosen one,
As those who meet and be separated,

Only because of Him,

The Creator of Love and Friendship,

InshaAllah*,

As truly you're my companion,

Forever and ever will be.

Hold my hand, my friend,

Firmly,

And never let it free.
