The excusable Salats


The excusable Salats
A poem by Azuan Ahmad

The sleepy Fajar,
When the quilt is heavy and the eyes ajar;
The sleeper continues to turn and yawn,
In the end, Fajar is just another dawn.

The buzy Dzuhur,
When there isn't even time for lunch for sure;
The procrastinator leaves it on a delay,
In the end, Dzuhur is just another midday.

The tired Asar,
When heading home only to be stuck in the car;
The loafer favours this time as opportune, 
In the end, Asar is just another afternoon.

The lazy Maghrib,
When it is time to lounge in one's crib;
The socialite is with friends or with a date dining,
In the end, Maghrib is just another evening.

The forgotten Ishaa,
When it is cozier to sip a cup of cha;
The fan watches a TV football highlight,
In the end, Ishaa is just another night.
