✿ I sit here all alone and my eyes are flooded with tears,
Who is there for me to express my heart’s fears?
✿ I sit here and wait, for soon that day will come,
When I shall have to answer for everything I have done.
✿ I sit here and I wonder what will happen on that day,
When our limbs will speak and our tongue will have no say?
✿ I sit here by myself where nobody can see me cry,
What will I say on that day when one cannot lie?
✿ I sit here and think of my sins that I have committed,
And hope that on that day, that they will be omitted.
✿ I sit here and my heart feels broken in two,
I hope that on that day, my fears will not be true.
✿ I sit here where Allah sees me from above high,
I turn towards Allah, asking for forgiveness and drawing a sigh.
✿ I sit here shivering and hoping that on that day,
RasoolAllah salAllahu alayhi wasalam will not turn his blessed face away.
✿ I sit here and I pray: “Ya Allah! Guide me on the Straight Path.
Make me not of those upon whom You have sent Your Wrath.”
✿ I sit here, close my eyes, and listen to the Qur’an,
“Ya Allah, when I return to You let it be with Iman.”
✿ I sit here and whilst wiping my tears away,
I ask from Allah one thing: “Don’t let me go astray!”
Prophet SAW said :"If, through fear of Allah, tears--even to the extent of a fly's head--fall from any believer's eyes and drop on some part of his cheek, he will be kept away from Hell by Allah."--[ Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi #5359]
Please let it be known that I just came upon this poem on Facebook. I have no idea who the original author is and if any of you happen to know, please leave me a comment. I thought it was most beautiful and had to share.
