A Poem

-

Even the sun can’t reach the bottom of the ocean,

Where darkness reigns and light dies.

And there concealed are your lies,

In the depths of the dark.

-

You thought it would cloak your misdeeds,

But this is a false held belief.

The dark will not give you relief.

Here nor there, you cannot hide away.

-

Even if the sun’s light can’t reach the bottom,

It does not guarantee secrecy.

For the creatures of the sea,

Create their own light.

-

But what is of more import,

Is the fact nothing can be truly concealed,

Not when it can all be revealed.

As God sees all; if only we saw this.

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

Does he not know that Allah sees ˹all˺?

~The Qur’an 96:14

I hope everyone’s Eid is wonderful and blessed- enjoy your day!
