Oh myself....
What will calm you?
Can't you remain patient
for a day or two?
I try to contain you but
your strength overpowers
But when we die life will
seem like hours
So can't you be patient
for part of a day?
And remain steadfast upon the
straight way?
The direction you're taking
leads to my worst fears
Of the day we stand for
fifty thousand years
No one will joke nor talk nor smile
And the sun from our heads
will be at a mile
Nowhere to hide and
nowhere to flee
Standing for what seems
an eternity
Then the judgment begins
and the books will land
Either on your right or your left hand
Oh Myself …
Do not become like those who
left the right track
And put their left hands behind their back
Oh Myself ..
How do you plan to cross the
sirat suspended in the air?
Craftier than a fox, sharper than a sword and thinner than a hair?
How do you plan to cross?
Or will you cross at all?
The blink of an eye? Run?
Or would you rather crawl?
The bad deeds you command
will drop you from it
And only good deeds
put you back upon it
Oh Self.. it's a five hundred year-
drop suspension
Over a terrible place I'd rather not mention
Oh Self…
Do not be fooled by this world
and its illusions
And keep in mind judgment, the grave and other conclusions
Oh self wake up! Don't follow your desire
And ask for forgiveness to avoid the fire
Oh self keep the commands
and avoid prohibitions
And pay close attention to
these admonitions
Be amongst those who were
the best of planners
Who prepared for the future with good deeds and good manners
Oh Self
It simply about your control
Being patient now so as to
reach your goal
I don't mean to put a burden,
or put much stress
Just to warn of a day when
the limbs confess
Sins add up as you live
through the years
Then sadness won't save you
and nor will the tears
Every time you sin the
Shaytan is winning
So remember the One against
Whom you're sinning
Oh my self…
Life is short and ends when
you least expect it
And then what will you
say when you're resurrected?
The angel of death overlooked you and took the souls of your brothers;
And one day he'll come to you
and overlook others
For great rewards plant the righteous seeds.
