The Truth Will Prevail – Saliha Nazir
Sister Saliha Nazir, a student of SeekersGuidance, was motivated and inspired by her studies to write the following poem.
The Truth Will Prevail
You peer out from within the walls
That you built standing so tall
Wondering what you are doing here
You are held back by your own fear
The vast open fields and sky
Beckon to you, reminding you that you can fly
Won’t you listen to the call
To let go and enjoy the fall
You are not what you see
Understanding that is the key
The fortress of solitude that you built
Is boxing you in through your guilt
Turn to Your Lord in repentance
He is The One whose important is acceptance
Rest all is just an illusion
Running after the world is not a solution
There is a reality you cannot see
But for that you have to forget ‘I’ and ‘me’
The treasures are yours for taking
Why for this world are you your Lord forsaking
Take heed and turn away
Remember that there will be a day
When neither wealth nor children will avail
The Truth of Our Lord will prevail.
