JMy Mother J My Paradise J
"Lord be merciful to them for they have brought me up in my childhood." (Qur'an:17:24)
vShe served me until this day
J Her love is like , mine a ray
vShe lost sleep for me to dream
J She left food, for me to be fed
vOf mind and body she suffered
vI kicked at her bosom when an infant
J Yet she fondled me without being hesitant
vShe inspired my legs and taught me to walk
J All the words I pronounced listening to her talk
vAll my acts of worship are but under her feet
vIf this son were to enter paradise
J The warmth of her feet would be the cause
vHer prayers for me are sincere than my own
J She bore all the pain to see me so far grown
vThe pleasure of my Lord
J Is in doing to her good
vEven as I laid in her womb
J Or be buried in the tomb-
J And for me forever
vIf His Mercy is the entrance
