๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Easily defending your husband is a clear sign
That you love him for Allah and you won't allow pride
And critics to malign him with complaints, doubts and lies.
You understand he's human, while Allah the Most Wise
Knows the best timing when his faults can be rectified.
~•~
Any person pricked by thorns would find it tough to smile,
Specially if they were already hurt from inside.
When those who despise your spouse frequently criticize
Him, intending to offend you too or give advice,
You quickly defend him as his friend and faithful wife.
~•~
If some claim "he doesn't spend enough time with you. Why?",
"We doubt he cares for you as you're not prioritized",
And "how come you don't dine out often?", calmly reply:
"Alhamdulillah I don't regret being the wife
Of a Muslim who works hard so his loved ones can thrive.
~•~
I don't expect him to be flawless, and this is why
When he errs or disappoints me, I can't get surprised.
I'm aware that shaytan hates it when Allah unites
Two good souls to become better as husband and wife,
With faith and love pushing them to strive for Paradise.
~•~
My husband's like a bird with broken wings when sometimes
He seems neglectful due to feeling stressed, sad or tired.
As his loyal wife, I'd let him rest, give him some time
To heal, and patiently pray for bright days to arrive
So he joins me in this flight to Jannah Paradise.
~•~
I love him for Allah's sake, and this isn't a lie.
Even if he marries for the second, third, fourth time,
With Allah's Will, I decide to stay as his first wife,
Backing him up like a lawyer when he's criticized
And giving him space when tranquil silence is required.
~•~
Don't bother trying to tell me that he's not upright,
As I've already seen how he makes mistakes at times.
Just as falcons, eagles and owls must sleep oftentimes,
My soulmate needs to recharge every once in a while.
Case closed. I don't pay you to review my marriage life."
