prayer

A girl was passing by a Muslim in deep prayer
He glanced upon her with a menacing stare
For no one should walk past one who prays
It will disturb their moment of God praise

Later when the girl returned the man chastened
“You have no respect , your end you have hastened!”
“What did I do,” said the girl astonished
“Disturbed my prayer,” the Muslim admonished

“Pray excuse me, I did not mean to disturb
Nor in any way your prayer perturb
What do you mean by prayer anyway
Please, dear sir, instruct me the truth today.”

“Prayer is thinking of God and nothing else!”

“The thought of my lover was my only impulse
I did not see you for my mindset
But if you were in prayer how could I cause your upset!”
