Sheikh Abdur-Rahman b. Qāsim (1392h) wrote quoting Imam Nawawi (676h) رحمهم الله:
"It is recommended to cry whilst reciting the Qur'aan as it is the attributes of the cognizant ones and badge of the righteous...
The way towards obtaining that is by contemplating over one's recital as it relates to the warnings, severe threats, convents and agreements. Then reflect over one's deficiency in those affairs.
If one's grief and readiness to shed tears is not present at that moment, then let him/her weep over its absence - for certainly it is among the calamities."

اللهم لين قلوبنا بالقرآن
اللهم اشرح صدورنا بالقرآن
اللهم نور قبورنا بالقرآن
O Allaah soften our hearts with the Qur'aan!
O Allaah expand our chests with the Qur'aan!
O Allaah enlighten our graves with the Qur'aan!
