And as you travel down your personal path...

Baraka Blue from Remarkable Current - I've blogged about Tyson before who is also from that label, but had no idea about BB. This is a great dua and I feel like sharing it with everyone I know - so spread it! I like that he touches upon a variety of subjects. Eloquent & sincere duas are where it's atttt.




"may your day be filled w/ love and light

may your wrongs be right

may your songs be tight

may your words give sight

may your noor shine bright

may you always be on the righteous side of the fight

may your lovers be loyal

may your soil be fertile

may your khakis stay creased

may your locks stay oiled

may your plans never get foiled

may your plot thicken

may your chicken be halal

may your style be sufficient

may your soul be free of this prison

may Allah increase you in your vision

may you find everything you been missin

may you awake for prayer before the sun has risen

when you speak may your audience listen

may you never feel trapped in the system

may you sign(?) many righteous children

who will act on Prophetic tradition

may you always have food on your plate

may you learn from every mistake

may you rise above all the hate

and may Allah increase you in your state

may you never pretend that you are what you aint

may your friends be real and never be fake

may your rent have to be never have to be late

and may your health always be great

may Allah forgive ever sin

now and forever if you falter again

and may you always stay close with your kin

and may He make all your enemies friends

may He make reality of your plans

may your present be pleasant

may you have a good end

may your heart be purified of flaws

and may you act according to the laws

that were revealed in the book of Allah

and may He catch you whenever you fall

may the One guide you to the truth

and when you doubt may He show you the proof

may you be like the ahla suf

with the wisdom of elders and energy of the youth

may He accept your prayers and your fasts

the very first to the very last

and remove obstacles you have

and may you receive everything you ask

may you never have regret for your past

and receive mercy not the wrath

and as you travel down your personal path

may you always have a reason to laugh.
