Islamic Poems

Time Ticking

Life, a whirlpool of madness;

Everywhere, chaos, fitnah, and badness. 

Life gets faster and faster every day,

No time to think, no time to enjoy. 

Time's ticking, 

Days and months are slipping, 

Years and decades disappearing,

I bite my nails, panicking. 

Hurry, chaos, lots of stress;

Oh Allah, there's a lot of sins I've got to confess. 

So much, so much, I can't count.

Ya Allah, erase everything from my account.

Every day, I'm nearer to my death. 

Oh Allah, how do I abandon all this fitnah and wealth?

Allah, I want to reach you, but Shaytan's holding me back. 

Techs and distraction, his caging me in his dark sack. 

Everything's an alluring delusion, how do I find your path?

I'm crying and crying, Ya Allah, I don't want to receive your wrath. 

Tensions, sleeplessness, 

Where do I find true happiness? 

Fitted dresses, girls in the streets thinking they're in Paradise. 

Oh, how I wish I could be them and look pretty and nice!

They allure and entice me to join them, 

No, no, Ya Allah don't make me join them!

Unless necessary, Rasullullah adviced everyone to stay in the house, 

Away from fitnah, inside with your mahrams and your spouse. 

Oh Allah, what era have I been born in?

There is fitnah even in the computers so thin. 

In the last days, Imaan will be harder to hold than burning coal. 

Oh Allah, make me stronger and give me self-control!

Make me blind towards shaytan's delusions, 

Allow me to strive in your path with devotion. 

Allow me to do ibadah as the Sahaba's did, 

Subhanallah,  they made their abode, the masjid. 

Quran and Dhikr, that was their addiction.

Oh Allah, I want you to grant me that addiction!

Big hearts, they loved you so much. 

Oh Allah, I'm sobbing and sobbing, why can't I be as such?

They sacrificed their wealth, for their Muslim brothers in need. 

Oh Allah, I want their qualities, I want to succeed!

Haram fitnah, internet, wars, fighting everywhere.

Oh Allah, the Muslims are dying, they are in despair. 

Oh Allah, the Muslims are misguided, revive their Imaan!

Make them successful with love and Quran. 

Time's ticking, the time I'm wasting, 

Every second you're accounting!

I'm a sinner, where should I start?

Bestow hidaya and guidance in my heart!

Techs and the internet, they consume my time, 

No, no, Allah give me your ladder so I can climb!

Higher and higher, I want to reach you. 

If these are Shytan's ploy, remove them so I can start new!

Life, a whirlpool of madness;

Help me, so I can get through this!
