Oh Death
Oh Death, Why Are You in a Hurry to Embrace
Oh death, why are you in a hurry to embrace?
Why haven't you forgot the way you are told
Or enjoy a peaceful nap under a date palm ,
Or on the river beach under the wintry sun ?
Why haven't you forgot yourself completely
In the beauty of the mystified world
And passed decades after decades
Forgetting the order of your Lord ?
Oh death! why are you in a hurry?
Sit here calmly like an obedient child
And let me finish some important tasks.
An implored pleading for a little time,
Or it may take a little more,
To execute some promises by your Lord's name,
To unfastened a knot fixed with love and affection,
To cut the platonic love for life developing since the day of birth.
