I AM TOO BUSY

Everyday as I woke up at dawn

My mind started working the moment I yawned

There were many things to do, o dear!

That's why I hastily did my Subuh prayer

I didn't have the time to sit longer to praise the  Lord

To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd...

 Since school, I had been busy every minute

 Completing my tutorials and handlining in it

 My thesis took up most of my time always

 No time did I have to Allah I praise

Too many things to do and dhzikr is rare

 For Allah, I really had no time to spare..

 When i've grown up, I started my career

Working all day to secure my future

When I reached home, I prefer to have fun

I chatted on the phone but I didn't read the Quran

Spent too much time surfing the Internet

 Sad to say, my faith was falling flat...

 The only time I have left is weekends

 During which I prefer window shopping with friends

I couldn't spare time to go to the mosque

I'm too busy, that's the BIG CAUSE...

I did my five prayers but did so quickly

 After prayer, I didn't sit longer or reflect quietly

 I didn't have time to help the needy ones

 I was loaded with work as my precious time runs

 No time at all to visit a sick Muslim friend

 To orphans and elderly, I hardly lent a hand

 I'm too busy to do community service

 When there were gatherings, I helped the least

My life was already full of stress

 So i didn't counsel a Muslim in distress

 I didn't spend much time with my family

 B'coz i thought, doing so is silly...

 No time to share with non-Muslim about Islam

 Even though I know, inviting causes no harm

No time to do Sunnah prayers at all

All these contribute to my imaan's fall..

I'm busy here and busy there

I've no time at all, that's all I care

 I went for religious lessons, just once in awhile

 Coz I'm too busy making a pile...

I worked all day and i slept all night

 Too tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not right

To me, earning a living was already tough

So  I only did basic deeds but that's not enough..

No time at all, to admire God's creation

 No time to praise Allah and seek His Compassion

Although I know how short is my life

For Islam, I really didn't strive..

 Finally the day comes, when the Lord calls for me

 And I stood before Him with my Life's History

I feel so guilty b'coz I should have prayed more

 Isn't that what a Muslim lives for?

To thank Allah and do more good deeds

 And the Quran is for us all to read..
