Ghazal-In this is a Sign
When
the clouds threaten a clear sky: in this is a Sign,
When the thought of Him makes you cry: in this is a Sign.
When the twilight's wise haze
descends before prayer time,
When the sun has set from on high: in this is a Sign.
When will man truly feel how
close his God is to him?
When you hear your own infant cry: in this is a Sign.
When will man remember his true
state of helplessness?
When your elders grow sick and die: in this is a Sign.
When you look at the mountains
or the smallest of ants,
When you muse how the birds can fly: in this is a Sign.
When you stare at the heavens
and see millions of stars,
When a lone streak goes shooting by: in this is a Sign.
Shahzadah like you, is amazed
at the world's design,
When we wonder by asking "why?” : in this is a Sign.
