Deaf, dumb and blind

Bismillahirahmanirahim. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.


Deaf, dumb and blind

My eyes have perfect sight
Yet I am blind.
My ears hear every sound bite
Yet I am deaf.
My speech is eloquent under the stage light
Yet I am dumb.

For it is not my eyes that could not see
But my heart, with its disease
I turn away from the poor’s plea
I shut my ears even when they screamed, “PLEASE

HELP
US!

I’m dumb because with every knowledge that I gained
The poison of arrogance flows through my vein
And my diseased heart couldn’t help but to pump
Churn my body into a toxic waste dump.

My sick heart,
It is sealed tight.
With shroud of ignorance
That chases light.

Until one day. When the heart could take no more.
Before it collapsed, drop dead to the floor.
With sharp intakes, and a final wheeze
The heart whispers, “Oh Allah, please

help
me.

“Have they, then, never journeyed about the earth, letting their hearts gain wisdom, and causing their ears to hear? Yet, verily, it is not their eyes that have become blind - but blind have become the hearts that are in their breasts!” Surah Al-Hajj, verse 46

 - Lailatulzahrah

This is what I'm feeling right now. And so what better than to transcribe my feelings into thoughts and translate them into words. 
Why is my pen name Lailatulzahrah? 
Because I want to be the Night Flower. Which blooms and emits sweet fragrance even in the darkest hour.
