My ALLAH………My LIFE
A Poem by Zeba Bukhari
M y ALLAH. . .M y L I F E
This earth, this dunya, is a drop of a sea
The final destination, The Akhirah, which is beyond infinity
This test and trial makes me blue
Fighting shaytaan is the hardest thing I ever had to do
Years and days will quickly go by
To Allah alone I cry, who will always stay close by my side
Allah has commanded us to give Zakah and Pray,
This Deen is of Allah and his Messenger, not some play
So let us repent for the sins we commit night and day
My days are lonely and they are cold,
My goal is to obey Allah as my days grow old and He takes my soul
Allah is present everywhere, Allhamdu lillah my connection with Him is strong
He lives in my heart, His Mercy and Blessings are enormous and beyond
When I sacrifice and give up something for His sake,
In return He rewards me with something better in its place
My life is corrupted and my days are rough,
Sometimes my tests and trials get so tough,
But for the sake of Allah, it’s never enough
Allah and His Quran is my guide
If He wasn’t there for me, I’d break, swelter and die
My mother is gone far and away,
A visitor lies beside her grave,
I know my mother is gone, and Jannah lies at her feet
She is distant from me, buried in too deep
If not in this world, then in the next we will surely meet
Everyday I live my life- only to Please YOU, O MY ALLAH !.
You are the comfort of everyday of my temporary life.
