POEM: Dear God, Please Forgive
AstaghfurAllah – O' Allah, forgive –
Forgive all my mistakes – the big and small –
AstaghfurAllah – as long as I live –
Please forgive me too when I leave this world –
The sins I did when I did intend them,
The sins I did which I thought were okay,
The sins that I did again and again –
AstaghfurAllah for all those mistakes.
O' Allah, I am human – imperfect –
Prone to committing mistakes everyday.
The sins I did wrongly I do regret –
For Your forgiveness, O' Allah, I pray.
"AstaghfurAllah" every day and night
For the wrongs I did when I wasn't right.
POEM: Saudi Arabia
We used to live in Saudi Arabia –
For many years that only God can tell –
Then we moved to where I sense nostalgia,
Reminding me of where I used to dwell.
Old memories I still find in my heart
Of the place where my childhood was first born –
From school and other things I had to part,
Like some furniture, books, and clothes I'd worn.
It saddens me to think of what I've left,
And then a new lesson I realize –
That when you rise on the Day of Judgment,
You'd think that only one day you survived.
So live your life – as though it is a dream –
To wake up pleased with what you've done and seen.
