LIFE IS A JOURNEY by Fatimoh Oyenike

Wandering I am in the world
Like a squirrel searching for hole
Thinking life has no end
But vanished it can
In a twinkle of an eye

Yesterday has gone it's way
Grab a copy of today
For tomorrow is not promised
By the creator of the days
For no one owns the world

We live and lost
Drawn in the deepest pit
Covered with the darkest clothes
Thinking is the best to have
But the Satan rope we've climbed

We dive in luxurious things
And flaunt like the world owner
Throwing aside the rope of Allah
Chasing the realest of vanity
Which paint the heart all in black

Swimming happily in haram
Leaving behind the Dawah
Turning a back to the words
Giving illusion attention
And end up in detention

Looking low at Ibadah
Believing necessary is not
Failed in reflecting on life
Ignoring the fact of existence
And shuning the purpose of living

Life is a journey
For everything shall come to end
And resurrection shall follow behind
Accounting for the journey
In the presence of the Mighty

Turn Unto thee
That grant forgiveness
And dilute with Rahma
For Him is oft-forgiven
For Him is Al Ghafur

What if your final time comes?
Which position will you be?
For you have got blind of dhikr
And anticipating for Janah
With deeds of Jahanam

Row your boat with gentility
Put on the garment of Shariah
And spread around peace and love
By Him, your final abode
Alhamdulillah it shall be
