The Last Day

Medihah Hussain(Group Ruqayyah)
[Some angels said], “Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes — perhaps you will be questioned.” [Al Anbiya:13]

Today is the last day
Did you remember to wake and pray?
Or did you die turning away?
This for you will surely be a stressful day

The earth crushed
The mountains dust
Light extinguished from the sun, stars and moon
Peoples faces expressing their doom
All brought forth to be questioned
Weren’t my verses upon you mentioned?
Did not messengers tell you of my creed?
Yet you turned away, such a shameful deed.

Today is the last day
Did you remember to wake and pray?
Or did you die turning away?
This for you will surely be a stressful day

You were given cars and houses
Children and fortified palaces
Still you denied the one, the only
Following your forefathers but today aren’t you feeling lonely?
Not a person by your side
So explain why you spoke untruth of me, you lied
Where are those you called other than me?
You denied and you thought you would be let off free?
Return to those large homes
Return to the gold, the silver, the play and laughter
Return to what made you heedless in every way
Is all that helping you on this day?

Today is the last day
Did you remember to wake and pray?
Or did you die turning away?
This for you will surely be a stressful day
