Beautiful Soul Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

BEAUTIFUL SOUL


So the stories have been told
In the bosom of men lives unfold

Every breath making history
In every history a bitter, sweet, memory

Tell me my dear son
Looking straight into the sun

What history should men have made?
When their bodies finally cake?

Gulp down my words my dear daughter
Just as you clean up the dirt in this gutter

That you must do also for this fragile heart
Never keep your heart and Lord apart

I give to you my thoughtful words
Beautiful as the colourful flying birds

Always keep these infectious smiles
They will take you through the miles

And just like this clean, cute, bowl
Try to be a beautiful soul

What you seek must be a Qalbun Saleem
And that you could get from Al-Hakeem
