Oer waiting Tasbih

Islamic

The tasbih

O’er waiting tasbih in my mind
there sweeps a power
Illumined thoughts that comes to man
each waiting hour

And o’er the angry waves of thought
A cooling breeze
Though gone from sight through writings still
It brings me ease

Then its perfumed, sweet presence shows
a truer life
With blessed ideas, I wake to know
A world more bright

With tired limbs and burdened heart
Its hard to see
Where you are my dear ones
I long to be

Your lamp of truth it guides my boat
Upon Life's shore,
The waves and tides that once did harm
Oh, nevermore!

And now a white-winged angel comes
and wipes my tears
High ideas I need to reach
Where life is dear.
