Today, exactly 3 years ago we were at Arafah
Arriving from Shisa a distance not too far
With sweltering heat of 44 degrees
A half hour journey is all that we hope it to be
Arafah is a dry land with no building stand
Hills and rocks with plenty of sand
Millions will gather back to back front to end
Supplicating as much as they can
Half an hour indeed we reached
Arafah, gathering of the poor and rich
In the sweltering heat we hurriedly proceed
To the tentage where everyone meet
The tentage was huge and brightly lit
With carpet spread for all to rest, supplicate or just sit
With a/c full blast
Theres comfort at last
Half way through, we whispered
“The a/c is too strong can it be adjusted”
Nobody bothered
But Allah heard
Suddenly came the wind shaking the tent
Blowing dust with plenty of sand
So strong the wind that was sent
Putting fear to all women and men
Power was cut
Light off and a/c shut
Cold room turning hot
With no one to blame but the ingrates.
