Naked heart: English poem by Ali Rasheed

Naked heart: English poem by Ali Rasheed

I want to see your heart naked
Clean from filth of hatred

Under the peel lies the essence of grape
As beauty lies under the deceptive drape

Use the eyes of your heart
See! This lust is a thwart

Kill your fears, stop shedding tears
Have a look at your fallen peers

Better then intrusion or passivity
Are submission and simplicity

What they say are false measures of success
Success in reality is the love you possess

Come back home! Life is short,
Spread love! Let time level their plot

This material world is so vulnerable
But still you are changeable

Kill your nafs and let your soul out shine
While your naked heart drinks the divine wine.
