Half of My Deen

Yes I have
I have walked that path
of longiness and of anxiety
thinking of when it would be-
to bid bachelorhood farewell
and to be inducted into the hall of Abus.

Yes I have
Just like every conscious muslim men
become weary and worrisome
to get far away as my legs could
away from the fitnah exhumed
all in the name of civilization and modernity
that has become an abyss of immorality.

I have seen
where my legs have been
that it pays to become a man
as fast as one could
before being a youth could become a curse
and rejecting the words of Allah
would become a pain to nurse.
I'd rather run as fast as my legs could
before shaytan in whispers would...

Yes I mean half of my deen
is better to all of these sins
warped around Dunyah
its deceit and calumny
could only deprive one
of the great benefit Allah Has promised.

I am still to complete mine
Just like a miner-
is still to burrow through the gold mine
I am still to call you habeeby
till the nikkah comes to be.

Here i am ready to run
as fast as my legs could
before the sun welcomes the moon
and the night becomes noon
to be the man who brings you joy
while being far away from shaytan's decoy
having completed half of my deen
with you in good deeds and not in sin.
