Cheer up! (Poem)

What’s wrong with your tongue?

Can’t you say Subhanallah?

Can’t you say Ma Sha Allah?

Shake off that gloom!

And let your face bloom!

Or did your team go down in esteem

By losing Three-Nil to Brazil?

Or did you lose your job?

Oh, no, don’t be a snob!

Don’t ape those in good shape!

Say Subhanallah! Say Ma Sha Allah!

And pray and pray to Allah

Till hope comes your way,

Ray by ray!

No, don’t think of Tsunami!

Think of the beaches of Miami!

Think of Amazon flowers!

Think of New York towers!

Don’t think of King Lear or even Shakespeare!

But think of Allah and you’ll steer

Right for the Light of Faith –

The Faith that’ll give you powers

And blessings in showers,

And your face will excel all flowers

In beauty and freshness!

Blessed be Allah! And Allah bless you,

For your goodness!
