When my brain felt conceited

And was full of itself

And my limbs thought it had gathered

Myriads of good deeds of the world

And my eyes wanted

To look outside the box

And my mind teased

To try something new

So I took a break

And dived into the unknown, blindly.

Like Aadam and Hawaa

Until I felt as though

I was a stranger

In my own body

And when I stared, I saw nothing

And while I listened, I heard nothing

I was done for!

Alas. I crawled at the threshold of your mercy

And drenched my heart with the tears of my guilt

And repeated to myself

The fifty-third verse of the thirty-ninth  chapter

Until my old self

Traveled back home

And I gave a silent solemn promise

That It was going to be the last break, bi idhnillaah.
