Ikhwah, Thank You!

Over the years, many things have happened

But in all these things that happen

I was never really with them

We trekked on harsh grounds

But I wasn't the one to carry the load

I was the load that all has to carry

We sailed treacherous waters

But I was neither crew nor captain

I was the cargo, safely stored in the belly

We drove for hours to our destination

But I wasn't the car driver

I was the safe passenger, sleeping soundly

Yet

In times like these

In moments like these

In situations like these

They

They were still smiling

They were still happy

They were still willing

They were still forgiving

They were still by my side

But I'm not all too blind to see

That behind some smile

Some really had enough of me

That behind some laughter

Some really were fed up

I know it all too well, for sure,

And it befalls on me to say :

Thank you all, ya ikhwati fillah!!

You have helped me a lot..

Thank you all, but I'm sorry..

I cannot offer you any gifts..

But only pray to Ilahi..

That Jannatul-Firdaus and syahid is yours....

In sha Allah....
