Oh, Myself !

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.
