Contentment

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Especially-Merciful

The fly knocks into the window pane desperately looking for an exit

Why did he not consider moving a few inches further to make his escape?
A man goes about his daily routine grudgingly doing what he always did
Why did he not consider changing something to help his life take shape?

The ant is energetically surveying the land as it goes about its chores

Is it any co-incidence that the ant needs no one to open for him any doors?
For he always does what he does best knowing that his team works well
Man can learn because never in despair will one ever find any ant dwell

The bird leaves his nest seeking sustenance early in the morning

When the man is asleep or perhaps may have risen but still yawning
The bird returns later having had his fill and is now contented
When the man belatedly returns from his place of work he resented

Perhaps the man will do well if he ponders on his lot

Did God Almighty create all this in vain, I think not
So take a moment to reflect on the treasures before you
Then, no doubt, you will make with life a start anew
 

From a time of idleness daily the man now takes time to reflect

To those around him, to all he now gives due respect
He bows down regularly to the One who is Ever-living
Creating in him the contentment that he was certainly missing
