14. But I Love Him

BUT I LOVE HIM

You say you can't live without him

Is he the giver of your air?

You say you don't care what people think

How about what Allah forbids?

You say it just feels so right

So why the need to fight?

You say he's the one you've waited for

Why then the guilt towards your Creator?

Your parents tell you otherwise

Still you are heedless to their advice

You consider them a barrier to your happiness

Forgetting that it was they who used to remove your sadness.

You reason out that you just can't leave

All because of a line you'd love to repeat

"But I love him, but I love him" is what you keep on saying

How can it be love if it's a sin you're committing?

Know that barakah will not come

Unless you are in obedience to the Sublime One

What started as wrong might end up wrong

So if you love yourself, just let go and move on.

"But you love him," could be Shaytan's line to you

He's a thief of your logic, dictating you what to do

Turn to Allah before you drown into the forbidden

Only HE can change your heart, the Most Forgiving.

If you only knew how Allah's Love for you is greater 

Disentangling from the haram would be so much easier

If you only knew the peace obedience to Allah could bring

You'll feel relieve, joyful and will have so much blessings.

Ameen.

Allahu akbar!
