Tomorrow
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming. Pray for it… say your hellos… send a goodbye to the waiting… to the struggle… and welcome him tomorrow
*** We know the happenings of the future, don’t we remember? Have we forgotten him and the deliverance he will deliver? We quickly lose our sight of him when in the grip of our worries But tomorrow, he is coming and are we really willing to displease?
He is among us, leading us, and only sometimes do we remember To love him, serve him, and to lead his holy cause with honor We avoid letting him into our hearts despite shouting “ادركني” How would he reach us if we never reached out truthfully?
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
*** Where is our gratitude when he bears our loneliness? It’s all the same in grief and celebration; we’re callous He is why God has yet to squander those who forget He is the favor of God’s Mercy, accept him or feel regret
“And which of your Lord’s favors shall you deny” This favor awaits your acceptance and support, he is nearby We’re separated from him and it is we who are in loss Yet he carries the burden and sadness for us
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
***
We are in his prayers so don’t forget to keep him in your own You can speak to him in your heart, this is how he is known He didn’t dessert us or forget that we are weak sometimes Surrender yourself to him and let him lead your lifetime
His service begins now, not when he arrives tomorrow His leadership is in effect now, not when he will show See how his leadership changes you, how you become his servant He perfects you and is your means to heaven, why wait for Judgement?
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
***
As if Judgement Day is tomorrow, annihilate yourself in his leadership Be for him before you are for yourself, accept this hardship For it has the potential for Divine love and sweetness What is sweeter than becoming a shield to your Imam’s prowess?
We pray for his quickening return, tomorrow you will see him His arrival will be recognized and welcomed, it won’t be grim If we had faith he’d return in this next hour and we were ready Do we think he would leave us unanswered, still waiting, hands empty?
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
***
O’ he who awaits us with an impatience unmatched We are losing ourselves in this separation, we are attached We have been waiting for you since Muhammad called us Since the heavens were introduced to Adam… timeless
How is this waiting for you timeless and yet we are impatient? This time has weighed heavy since God had introduced your fragrant In our souls, it is a reminder to what we could have if we followed it Don’t we know who awaits us if we deny these pleasures and submit?
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
***
O’ he who prays and loves more than we pray and love You work in our favor amongst us here, not above Who is waiting for who? We cannot tell anymore Searching for you has made us eyesore
Hearts are tiring in these chests and we still have yet to meet Be quick in your arrival so our hearts can evil, defeat You are close, we know you are close, tomorrow, come tomorrow We will care for you so please don’t keep these waiting hearts hollow
He is coming… tomorrow… he is coming.
