To the Martyred Knight of the Desert- Abu Mus'ab al Ghani (Nazir Alema)

Let's pick up a number.
One so odd that it adds up
And becomes even.
Where's the shark that escaped
The fisherman's net
And beat the rest
To it,

Here's what he claimed he saw;
Men whose thirst for death
Surpassed the desert's thirst for water,
That's what he saw so he yearned to be like them.

And what I saw was men whose
Certainty of Allah's promise
Seemed as if they had
A clear vision of jannah rolling on a screen in front of them.

And then I saw this young man
Drenched in the pits of jahiliyyah
But He walked away
Seeking the pleasure of his Lord

With his name up for a martyrdom op
He patiently waited his turn
But the Lord above the 7 heavens
Had written that he be martyred
By a bullet

They said he fasted
They said he stood up to pray at night
They said he was of the best
And I say so too
But Allah knows best

He hid most of his deeds
But can the lion
Hide for too long?

I remember how he'd smile
Whenever we met
I remember so much
That I wish I'm martyred soon too

It's only a fool who'll wish him alive
When Allah says the martyr is alive
May Allah accept his deeds

It's only a fool who says his departure from this world was untimely!
How stupid is the one who thinks death is only meant for the old...

That's the story of the man who was killed but didn't die
Alive and up above
Receiving provision from his Lord
Flying beneath the throne of Allah

I know what he knew
He knows what I know
But I'm here simply waiting.
For nothing overcomes the decree of Allah.

He was martyred while fasting
And his last words were the testimony of faith,
His blood smelled of musk...

Here's the end of the one who lays down his life to make the word of Allah high

Can't wait till we reunite
In jannah
Can't wait till i flap my wings in jannah too...
Just like the brothers who've preceded me
And Allah knows best their state in the afterlife

Indeed the promise of Allah is true...

Will you then reason up?
Or will you wait until Allah's wrath reaches you?
