DON’T LET ME DIE NOW!

DON’T LET ME DIE NOW!

I'm aware that I ain't too young

and that I'm too old is wrong

As long as death retains its features,

my strength remains a mere feature

Weakness equals not to immunity;

for death is blind to identity

Blacks give up the ghost in a snap

Whites get lowered into grave often in white wraps

My tallness would not plead its actions

Neither would shortness call for redactions

Death would not mind if I'm still single

and being married wouldn't rule its work illegal

It wouldn't spare me if I were a mother

to raise my kids for years longer

Barrenness shields none from its wrath

Though people might say such death's got no worth

Death could seize a wife and spare her husband

and it could be the other way round

Al-Khaliq is the creator;

The Supreme. The Dictator!

Dear Creator, I know everyone has to uphold the death vow

For me, I plead; let it not be now.

Spare me and grant me the grace, so,

I would, even if poor, enrich enough lives with my actions

In spite of my weakness, strengthen faith and rekindle hope of many nations

In darkness, I want my pen to illuminate path with its ink

and scribe stanzas that man would read and think

In extreme light, make me a shade that will protect  many from risky rays

Cloak me with a garment  that shines bright enough and never fades

In the morn, grant me the strength to survive its coldness

In the noon, let my words mop up stress and delete duress

In the evening, I want my words to praise every hard worker

and question the indolence of every lazzarone

Even in sleep when I'm ignorant of my environs

I want my impact to lighten the path of a whole lot

I want to be a light good enough that the blind would sense

I want to be a voice audible enough that the deaf would hear

I want to go beyond my limits without exceeding Allah's

If I do not die now, I want to live without leaving a stone unturned!

Yah Allah! Preserve my soul upon good deeds

Preserve me to live hale and heartily without any ailment

Preserve me to appreciate and utilize every moment to suit your likes

Preserve my life, make me live long enough fulfilling your words

Grant unto me, Peace

All my tasks,ease

Yah Allah! Please!

Don't let me die now!
