in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Even from a
young age you called me by name
Yet you
showed no love as you put me to shame
With that you
only can cast a shadow over your life
As with each
step you do only invite nothing but strife
If it is fame
you seek at the expense of another
So does the
hurt you bring with it not you bother
Did you forget
this world is but a temporary abode
That you
worry not about deeds you carry in your load
So sad you
see not now the error of your ways
Happy you are
for as long as people sing your praise
What will be
your state when upon you reality does dawn
Will you then
be the one who cuts a figure so forlorn
The one you so
deliberately took your time to harm
In so many
ways that often there was little calm
So now in old
age the victim has certainly not forgot
So his denial
of forgiveness will surely be your lot
It is often
said a cat has nine lives and we have one
But when the
warner came you were happy for him to be done
For the
reminders of your Lord was never meant for “me”
You seem certain
your Lord will accept your “not guilty” plea
You prayed
and you have been to the stranger good
Sadly the
laws of your Lord you never really understood
So today I
can only remind myself of that which I must avoid
For in you I
see a reminder of how acts of goodness can be void
