One day we will be brought forth
When the love of the past will be completely gone
And hearts will fly like dust in air
And alone in darkness you will stand.

No one will be with you then
And in darkness you will stand
In front of the bridge of As-Sirat.

I think of that...
And how then can it not go away?

Any pain I may feel
Any heaviness in my chest.

How can that feeling still stay
When alone I stand
And only You will I rely
And no one else will avail me then?

This morsel you created,
It has such a powerful effect.
It can bring a whole body to wellness
Or make the whole body bad.

Where will my heart be?
Who can I turn to then?

As I approach close to the Sirat
As my turn arises
And all is in darkness
Who will avail me then?

When Hellfire is before me
And everything is darkness.

Will love for a person benefit me?
Will I care about anyone but myself?

If some pain that I feel will forgive me a sin
And a forgiveness of others will grant me your mercy.
Then I forgive them all ya Allah.
And seek your mercy and bounty that I may return to you clean.

I ask for your rahma ya Allah,
To complete my light and see my way
I thank you for reminding me again,
Of where my eyesight should be.

Because I complain of a minor thing or two
When I used to remember and feel
The suffering of those much worse than me.

When I used to see in my mind
Every time I go to spend
A poor child picking garbage
A man whose family suffers.

But times have changed
And my life has become all but material
I left the robe and humble clothes
For business casual and a comfy car.

How should I feel to be complaining of a little hurt
When I have all but forgotten what it is like to have zuhd.

Oh Allah, everything is written.
And in tests come reminders and strength.
I hope insha Allah I will not forget once again.

Make me of those who have love for the poor
And who do not dwell on the pleasures of this world.
Make my joy in helping others
Make my heart pure and my eyesight not on this world.
