Poems and Aphorisms 9



Be

Be insignificant in the sight of people
Be significant in the sight of God
Don't need people to see you
Because you're always seen by God


The Grave

A place dark and deep
For one who laughed or one who weeped
Where the Sun's rays don't reach
Where hopes can't grow
Nor good deeds can one sow
No second chances here
No more dunya* once so dear
An abode of regret
If only God would let
Me go back for a day
I'd give charity and pray
But alas, my time is done
No more laughs, no more fun
No life anymore
On this Earthy floor

*worldliness, or the world
