I Want to Walk with My Mothers

I want to sing like pretty Miriam,

Oh God! Oh Joy!

Though brother I don't have,

Nor I am holy to receive Your Songs

Like her.

I want to pray like lovely Hagar,

Oh Lord! Oh Truth!

Though second wife I am not,

Nor I am holy to receive Your Love

Like her.

I want to sing like brave Deborah,

Oh God! Oh Hope!

Though warrior I would not be,

Nor I am holy to receive Your Blessing

Like her.

I want to speak like sincere Huldah,

Oh Lord! Oh Wisdom!

Though fluent speech I can't do,

Nor I am holy to receive Your Words

Like her.

I want to pray like Mother Mary,

Oh God! Oh Love!

Though meditation and zikr I often miss ,

Nor I am holy to receive Your Spirit

Like her.

I want to sing with the prophetess.

Let me learn from them.

I want to pray like Hannah,

Mother of Samuel.

Though passionate I am not, 

But let me believe only in Your Mercy.

I want to be patient like Elizabeth,

Mother of John the Baptist

Though children I already have,

But let me submit myself only to You.

I want to keep my promise like Anna,

Mother of Mary.

Though I always break my promises to You,

Let me repent, only to live  just for for You.

Oh Lord! Oh Mother in Heaven!

I want to be faithful like Khadijah,

Mother of Fatimah.

Though business I do not make, 

But let me serve You, only You.

I want to love like Fatimah,

Mother of Hassan and Hussein.

Though no such strength and impatient I am,

Let me life fully for humanity.

Oh God! Oh The Only One! The Only Source!

I want to walk with my mothers.

I want to pray like them. 

Oh Beloved!

Please take me into their Path.

Let me be there, 

Be in the Path to You. 

Amen.
