Life is Short

It was early in the morning at four,
When death knocked upon a bedroom door
Who is there? The sleeping one cried.
I am Malkul Mawt, let me inside.
At once, the man began to shiver.
As one sweating in deadly fever,
He shouted to his sleeping wife
Don't let him take away my life.
Please go away, O Angel of Death !
Leave me alone ; I am not ready yet
My family on me depends,
Give me a chance, O please prepense!
The angel knocked again and again,
Friend! I'll take your life without pain,
This your soul Allah requires,
I come not with my own desire.
Bewildered, the man began to cry,
O Angel I'm so afraid to die,
I will give you gold and be your slave,
Don't send me to the unlight grave.
Let me in, O friend!
The Angel said, Open the door; get up from your bed,
If you don't allow me in,
I will walk through it, like a jinn.
The man held a gun in his right hand,
Ready to defy the Angel's stand.
I'll point my gun, towards your head,
You dare come in; I'll shoot you dead,
By now the Angel was in the room,
Saying, O friend! Prepare for your doom.
Foolish man, Angels never die,
Put down your gun and do not Sigh.
Why are you afraid! Tell me O man,
To die according to Allah's plan?
Come smile at me, don't be grim,
Be happy to return to him.
O Angel! I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to take Allah's name
From morning till dusk, I made my wealth,
Not even caring for my health
Allah's command I never obeyed,
Nor five times a day I ever prayed.
A Ramadan came and a Ramadan went.,
But no time had I to repent.
The Hajj was already FARD on me,
But I would not part with my money.
All charities I did ignore,
Taking usury more and more.
Sometimes I sipped my favourite wine,
With fliriting women I sat to dine
O Angel! I appeal to you
Spare my life for a year or two
The laws of Quran I will obey
I'll begin Salat this veryday
My fast and Hajj, I will complete
And keep away fron self-conceit
I will refrain my usury
And give all my wealth to charity
Wine and wenches I will detest
Allah's oneness I will attest
We angels do what Allah demands
We cannot go aganist His commands
Death is ordained for everyone
Father, mother, daughter or son
I'm afraid this moment is your last
Now be reminded, of your past
I do understand your fears
But it is now too late for tears
You lived in this world, two score and more
Never did you, your people adore
Your parents, you did not obey
Hungry beggars, you turned away
Your two ill-gotten, female offspring
In nightclubs, for livelihood they sing
Instead of making more Muslims
You made your children non-Muslims
Breaking promises all your life
Backbiting friends, and causing strife
From hoarded goods, great profits you made
And your poor workers, you underpaid
Horses and cards were you leisure
Moneymaking was your pleasure
You ate vitamins and grew more fat
With the very sick, you never sat
A pint of blood you never gave
Which could a little baby save
O human, you have done enough wrong
You bought good properties for a song
When the farmers appealed to you
You did not have mercy, this is true
Paradise for you? I cannot tell
Undoubtedly you will dwel in hell
There is no time for you to repent
I'll take your soul for which I am sent
The ending however, is very sad
Eventually the man became mad
With a cry, he jumped out of bed
And suddenly, he fell down dead
O Reader! Take moral from here,
You never know, your end may be near
Change your living and make amends
For Heaven, on your deeds depends
