You Were created for Worship...

You were created for worship, remember,
To Bow humble onto Allah, remember,

Otherwise, there will be disgrace, remember,
For life is but a few days, remember,

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Were you to acquire status & rank, so what?
Vaults of gold and riches be in your hands, so what?

Lavish mansions you were to erect, so what?
Display your pomp and vanity, so what?


One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Caesar, Alexandra & Kisra have all departed,
Napoleon & Rustam have all departed,

What great brave leaders have all departed,
Displaying their worth have all departed!

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

How many houses has Death annihilated,
The play of many has Maut annihilated,

Many of gigantic build has death eliminated,
Huge statures has death eliminated,

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Yes, O ignoramus, departure is whence?
Arise from negligence, break of dawn will commence,

Pack your provisions, the journey is hence,
Annihilation of every man will commence,

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Nafs & Shaytan to your bosom are snare,
The attack is imminent, O negligent beware,

Lest weakness arises in your Deen and good fare,
Halt! Stop your evil deeds which scare,

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Suddenly, death will arrive upon your skull,
then whither you and where Darul amal?

Will perish the golden opportunity,
never again to arise for eternity,

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

Concern for the Akhirah, to you O negligent is nothing,
Do not blunder, worldly comfort in reality is nothing,

Life is but a few days and naught else,
To rely upon it is folly, naught else!

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.

You have to depart from here one day,
Will be laid out in your grave one day,

Will show unto Allah your face, one day,
Now no longer waste in folly even one day!

One day we have to die, Death is ultimate,
Do whatever you wish, Maut is ultimate.
