Never-ending Everlasting

13-08-2004

The sun breaks dawn,
The sun goes down.
The moon peeks through stygian black,
Stars glitter on the dark night cloak,
Days go by; never to return,
Life goes on; memories left behind.
After one, another season follows,
A montage of smells, pictures and colours.
Each summer brings on another year,
New things to learn; experiences to bear.
Each year in the life of man,
Leads closer to their final end,
What are we doing in this brief sojourn?
Fated to die; as we were born?
Allah has revealed certain obligation,
Do our pursuits suffice the preparation?
For the world to come is never-ending,
There we’ll remain; everlasting.
