Assalamualaikum

Aren’t I doing a mistake intentionally,
By living my life as if I were to live eternally,
When death would take place eventually?

Indeed, I am doing a mistake intentionally,
By deceiving myself mentally and spiritually,
When death is a part of reality.

How foolish can I be,
For not accepting death as a part of actuality?

So, when I reach my grave unpreparedly,
Then who would be there to shelter me?

Now tell me, what can be a more regretful mistake than this,
This life is the only chance we’ve got and no sensible person would want to miss this.

It’d be better if we would ask Allaah for forgiveness repeatedly,
And Allaah is Merciful and Forgiving, exceedingly.
