I make this dedication to all our mothers and fathers,
brothers and sisters in Pakistan
and to all those who have suffered
from the October 2005 earthquake.
-------------------------------

The rain falls on your battered bruised bodies Washing away
Caked blood stains
Evaporated salt tears
Opening rivers of blood
Exposing bruises

Barely breathing
Alone, with death
I turn to you

In this land of no hope
A bleak future and tumultuous chaos
Your blazing eyes
Burn me
Responding fiercely to
My question of salvation
"Inshallah"

In this dark,
The vigor of your trembling tenebrous body
Eludes a fortitudinous spirit
That spans this ruined Muslim nation
Upheld only by 5 letters
Conjoined with mighty words
That give hope to those who chose to believe

I break at the pressure of your cracked innocence
Cuts like sharp steel tears
Upon a hedonistic body to whom
Necessity is a life-source
And uncertainty
Unfathomable

I am sorry that you have to be ruined by
The treacherous actions
Of a liberated superfluous minority
Leading, but themselves led by the nose
To whom faith is a token
They flung into their wishing well

Where sins are sold
You seek to repair
With a grain of dirt molded
By your callused bloody hands

I understand

Honest blood can now (re)build a (the) country into rock

Your tears are the cement
Your hearts the lines of bricks
And your voices the driving power

I had ceased to believe in your word
Second-guessed
The light in your eyes

It is divine power you derived
From ancient sacred words that
Molded your body
Into vessels
Of action and truth

Beams of light from the strength of your religion

And spilling faith from the passion in your heart

I underestimated the power of  "…Inshallah"?

Inshallah we can make
The intention
And have the Lord lead us to its completion

Divine Guidance has eased our way
Into this ocean of hands
Trembling with the anticipation
To aid and solidify Islam

All in the Power of Inshallah
