The Light of Truth — Page 443
QAŞIDAH ON THE DAYS OF ALLAH 443 O moon of the corner of the sky! Be patient, like me, And the Closest Helper will reach you. Rejoice! The darkness will soon be enveloped by His grace; Calamities do not last forever—they ultimately depart. The Protector never wastes His light; For every light there is a Guardian and Perfector. This is a fleeting darkness—whereas I myself, Have gazed at the dark for a time and been tormented. You enter the clouds to cry out in pain, Whereas patience is best and most apt for someone afflicted. Your eyes wept and tears fell, From a repentant person like you—this is strange indeed.
