Between two loves..

For what we have, we are rarely grateful
For what we lack, we often restless
The grace we only taste when it's gone
What is chased, boredom evokes
when it's already in our hand

The world is like ocean water
drink it will just add our thirst
passion is just like fatamorgana
on the desert

The heat stroke being thought as water
world and passion are like shadows
present in view, disappear in catch

God.. breaks up the world
staying inside my heart
for there I could
unite not two loves
Only Your love I hope growth
strengthen'd by the carcass of the world I slaughter'd


(translated freely from Raihan: Antara dua cinta)

The Right Path

Why are we here, where we come from
Where's our future, leading us
Where's our life, taking us
Show us the path, dear Allah

What are we, to do here
There must be a reason to be here
Ya Allah the greatest
Nor of these you create for waste

Show me the right path
The path of the favoured one with your grace
Show me the right path
The path of Rasulullah and his companions

Don't leave me please your guidance I need
Show me the way, light up my life
Don't leave me please your guidance I need
Show me the way, to gain your love

(nasheed Raihan)
