Falling Water

یہ پانی گِر رہا ہے سہی

 گِرنے پانی کی آسانی

 لیکن اس پانی کے گِرنے کی آواز نہیں

 خدا جب دل میں، تو پھر ہی

I stand at the station at the end of the track

The sky a union of blue and black

Walking to the viewpoint, I am taken aback

Aquamarine pools amongst the trees I thought to lack

I look at the falling water my sight has found

Take out a camera to show my family around

But slowly my mind halts with what starts to confound

This water runs… but it has no sound

Then I realize in the loneliness of the night

That only my Lord can make such miracles take flight

My tongue flickers swiftly, my heart becomes light

Soon enough, the sounds of his majesty’s might

So remember whenever life shackles your hands

Nothing happens without Allah’s commands
