Aim for life, Beloved Son
Bow not to its lures, though
Crave nothing but the permissible
Do without desire, do without sins
Ephemeral is this Life, you should know
Forget not then to shun the deplorable
*******
Grasp my advice, son
Honor yourself with Allah’s contentment
I long to see you one of his soldiers:
Just like I have pictured you; a true young man
Keep your faith in Him with full commitment
Lead your path to His Merciful Arms
*******
Mind you son, death is bound to be
Not a soul seems to care or fret, still
Oh son, how I wish to witness
Purity of human faith over impious disloyalty
Quite a few sate their malicious will
Regardless of Allah’s ceaseless warnings!
Son, I confide in you to be the one…
The one change I have scarcely been
*******
Keep to this motherly rhyme of wisdom
You shall never regret nor grieve
