SAFAH Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 A beautiful and touching poem that made me to cry upon hearing it. If my Lord asks me ‘Have you shyness in disobeying me? You conceal your sins from my creation – and with sins you come to me.’So how will I answer? O woe to me – and who shall protect me?I keep averting my soul with thoughts of hope – from time to time.And I forget what is to come after death – and what is to come after I am shrouded.As if I am guaranteed life (eternally) – and that death will not come to me.And when the severe stupor of death overtakes me – who will protect me?I looked at the faces, is there not from amongst them who will ransom me?I will be asked regarding what I’ve prepared in my life to save me (on the Day of Judgement). Then how will I answer – after I’ve neglected my religion.Woe to me! Did I not hear the Speech of Allah inviting me?Did I not hear what came in (the chapters of) Qaaf and Yaa Seen?Did I not hear about the Day of Gathering, the Day of Assemble and the Day of Judgment?Did I not hear the crier of death inviting me, calling me?So O’ my Lord, a slave (turning to you) I have repented – so who then shall shelter me?Except a Lord extensive in forgiveness – to the truth He will guide me.I have come to you (in repentance) – so have mercy on me, and make heavy my scales (with good deeds).And lighten my account – You are the best of who will bring me to account.It surely brought tears to my eyes and made me to realize what have i done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
