As leftover turkey the world eats
and the spent gunpowder of fireworks floats down
the fortunate gather in front of television
ooh'ing and aah'ing at the tidal waves
destructive upon Aceh
and places other
Nearly a week has passed
disaster surrounds us.
All I see is the mother with child
All I hear is her maternal shriek
La Illaha Il'Allah
La Illaha Il'Allah
La Illaha Il'Allah
La Illaha Il'Allah
May Allah swt have mercy upon us and they
and forgive us and they
and save us and they from calamaties
and grant us and they sustenance
and grant us the best in this world, and the aakhirah,
Ameen, ameen, thumm ameen.
