When you sigh with the heaviness of monotony
Remember that there is the sweet release of jannah
Stop searching for the glitter in the dunya
Start finding your treasures in His words
Truly in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest
Rest so sweet, it's stillness like the rock glaciers of the poles
Blanketing in the bliss of peace
Where else will you find your target, o restless one
Where else will you escape to from the clutches of your own insignificance
Because with your Lord, you are something
Something a little more
With your Lord you are moving, towards something definite and noble
With your Lord, it's different,
There is no confusion, no chaos
It's your Lord who sees you
The whole of you
In your incomplete completeness
It's your Lord who gives you
Richness so filling, the water overflowing from its brims
No pettiness of mundane
Just home
Like a traveler in this world,
Like a stranger, even
In this temporary abode
Then in servitude, you will find glory
In the mundane, you will find your kingdom
Your jewels will be adhkar
Your throne will be niyyah
Transforming the petty
To the magnificent
Your reign will be remembered
By the winged messengers of your Lord
So rule with might and power
Not monotonous is the life of an abidh
Rule, for a better kingdom awaits with your Lord.
