The Prophet’s journey
Leaves you without any lies
A Prophet is truth
Our Hadith tells us
The Hypocrites are liars
Allah knows your heart
Who knows your heart
Will you go on your journey
Will you come to us
With honesty and truth
Or with falsehood and lies
Are you a liar
You know the liars
Do you know their hearts
They are hardened by lies
Refusing to take the journey
Towards the truth
They might be us
Within each of us
There is a liar
That must be purged by truth
Within your heart
You must journey
To a place free of lies
We often speak in lies
They often comfort us
Begin the journey
Away from the liars
Within our hearts
Strive towards the truth
The path of the believers is truth
Those who rid themselves of lies
With clean soft hearts
These are the best of us
They are no longer liars
And choose the long difficult journey
The harder the journey
The sweeter the truth
We know the liars
We know their lies
They might tempt us
We are all vulnerable at heart
Go on your journey and reject the lies
The truth is entrusted to us
Don’t let us be liars at heart
