Smaller than the eye can view

Covid came and changed normal into new.

It keeps me imprisoned

It makes me bored all day

But I keep telling myself that

These dark clouds will fade away

This worldwide pandemic

may have various downsides however,

it has countless blessings

blessings in disguise

People are losing their jobs

And their income which helps them to feed

These are challenging times,

But remember, clinging to rope of Allah, is the best deed

Many people’s hearts repeated the word dying,

Because they feared losing their lives.

There were also people panic buying

They thought it would help them survive

Fear infiltrated our hearts

Because we put least trust in our Lord

Even though the martyr’s Jannah,

Has been promised as the highest reward

We see the virus as a bad omen

An enemy who hates us all

But don’t we get the reason

why we stumbled across this downfall

This worldwide pandemic

may have various downsides

however, it has countless blessings

blessings in disguise

The children all wish that they could be like birds,

And to be free in the clear, cloudless sky

not in a dull cage which steals their dreams

but above the trees, way up high

therefore the best advice is

in Allah we should put full trust

and out of these tiresome cages

The Almighty will open a door for us

We also have a choice

Allah gave us an option

we could accept this as a benefit

or throw it away like an affliction

Allah says that if he gives someone a test

It means that He loves them ultimately

We should always give consent

Even if it happens repeatedly

This worldwide pandemic

may have various downsides

however, it has countless blessings

blessings in disguise

This contagious infection

Has been blessed with two types of rewards

the first one is Martyrdom

where Jannatul Firdous will be granted by our Lord

In there they will be treated

better than queens and kings

Every day they’ll gifted

with rubies and rings.

The second type is for having

SABRUN JAMEEL (beautiful patience)

We should all have perseverance

and become a huge influence

we should not moan,

whine or complain

if we survive this test

our rewards will be the same.

We have learnt how to be grateful servants

and how to spend more time to reflect

let us stick to our Aalam-e-Arwah covenant

that our worldly affairs should not make us to forget.

This worldwide pandemic

may have various downsides

however, it has countless blessings

blessings in disguise.
