As the dawn of tomorrow\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reveals the harsh reality of night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would be ready to leave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run the mataf once last time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And say my goodbye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After Zuhr from first floor mataf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This place does not belong to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But feels home \u2026nevertheless<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearts melt at every prayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind refreshed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul rejuvenated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At every breath felt indebted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankful yet undeserved<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feelings are real<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like slicing your heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurt at every cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daily entrance and exit ramp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Come tomorrow I will walk away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With my fears and my tears<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For when I will return<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only Allah knows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much time left for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much energy left in me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the plane left me early<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or the soul left me sooner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be my last sujud<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On these sacred grounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooling fans at the main square <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where the angels and prophets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used to come and graced the place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every step of every round<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In tawaf was a struggle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep up and catch up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Kaaba was there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making it so close to my Rabb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massa : the place for Sa\u2019ie between Assafa and AlMarwah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Sa\u2019ie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steep downhill seems hard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My feet hurt as the ground grips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Siti Hajar was alone running<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back and forth for the life of her son Ismail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopelessness didn\u2019t take them away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They lived\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They endured \u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So do I \u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will live \u2026through this hardship<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026.. and thank you Ya Rabb for this opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
