When the glass is half full…

And it isn't half empty,

Although technically it is.

You stretch out your hand,

Say bismilah

Then take a sip.

When the glass is half full,

And it isn't half empty

Though I guess you could say it is,

You curl your fingers round it

Say alhamdulilah

And are glad for what you've been given

When the glass is half empty

And it isn't half full

Although technically it is,

You ask for sabr,

And remain steadfast

Because relatively you have plenty.
