Sonnet for Mum in Hospital

My love she lies alone, she cannot move
And yet her spirit soars across the sky
She’s held aloft by words enough to prove
Sustainer’s breath can make a woman fly

When I am gone I feel I’m still with you
I leave a piece of me when I depart
This truth - how could it not be true
A part of you could never be apart

What gift I have to give is given now
What song I have to sing already sung
You are the only qibla when I bow
You are the dhikr moistening my tongue

O Lord! Shine down on her your Your loving light!
Let angels keep her comfort in the night
