Soon I'll be home, but am I okay then?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم رحمة الله وبركاته



Soon I’ll be home

Contented and warm

Though the rain keep pouring on

I keep walking on

As my mind looks on

To the comfort of the home

And not being alone


Dinner is ready

Though hunger filled me

I did not worry

As I know soon I’ll be

Filled and happy


But say the hunger persists

As food becomes diminished

Will I still be pleased?

Or I’ll go crazy and foolish?


Or say the home is gone

And I am suddenly alone

Because of them moron

Who took all I’ve ever own


I think I’ll go crazy

Cause hunger is not a friendly buddy

When you’re deprived of necessity

Nor is solitary

When you've lost all in a jiffy


I claim myself to be a believer

But did I ever consider

Him telling ME to ponder

His words in the Book of Wonder;

..Who fed them against hunger

And made them safe from fear.(106:4)

So I’d be a worshiper

Of the Lord, the Bestower


Why I talk about hunger?

Well maybe I just love to eat burger

Or rather, I have a mind-boggler;

“Where are we now because of hunger?”

“Are we okay when we leave other people to suffer?”


Oh dear brothers and sisters

Let’s contain our hunger

For wealth and power

And dunya rather

Cause when we cause others to suffer

What is our excuse to escape hellfire?


Let’s call ourselves to rise

Cause I myself tend to close my eyes

But we’ll be questioned for these eyes

Them witnesses to their sacrifice

For the ultimate paradise

When we just stand by the sides?


I don't mean to make you bored,

So I’ll leave you with a note,


“Alone I am not

Fear and worry I do not

Be happier I cannot

Cause when I have my dear God

All, I have got.”


What say you ya ukhti wa akhi,

Let’s not divert off this journey?



p/s : Let's keep ourselves reminded shall we? Help me and we'll help each other out insyaAllah :)
