“If You Shall Ask Us How We Prisoners Live?”
by Abu Dujanah As-Somaali

Ah, looking out tearfully at the prison yard
The world of the forgotten ones is very hard

In the lap of death
Thus the heavily tears run into swollen streams
We are the Muslim prisoners within these chains!
Humiliated and violated as you deny
In the silent empty rooms where oppression remains
But if upon our Lord (Allah) we do rely,
Then they'll be neither worries nor the hardship pains.

Few stories like this, with a virtue warmed,
Few hearts with al- tawheed, so informed!
Thus you live well in a state of satisfaction
As the prisons come with great oppression

So contemplate always and be grateful
Prefer to live in honor, dignity and joyful
Rather than living in disgrace and awful!

But if you ever shall ask us how we prisoners live?
We say to you : Nay, are we afraid of death in belief
For some day, some how, every living soul has to die!

O you in a state of bliss, if you ask us how we live?
We take heart and hold firmly onto the rope of Allah,
Thus, these weak limbs of ours are a sacrifice for Allah.

In the lap of death
Thus the heavily tears run into swollen streams
We are the Muslim prisoners within these chains!
Humiliated and violated as you deny

In the silent empty rooms where oppression remains
But if upon our Lord (Allah) we do rely,
Then they'll be neither worries nor the hardship pains.
And if you shall ask us how we prisoners live?

Though the infidels desecrate our honor and nobility
Still indeed we stand firm onto the Promise of the Deity
Tis in dreams we do rejoice thou in exuberance and more.
While you do nothing O People, but eat, sleep, and SNORE!

May Allah(swt) hasten the release of all our brothers, sisters and children who remain incarcerated in gulags all around the world and grant them ease after hardship and let these trials be as a means of purification. Ameen!
