The Final Destination

We've sinned!
Says the eyes,
We looked at the haram,
We gazed him and her,
We ogled them,
Hell is your abode!

We should've cried for You,
We should've read the Holy book,
We should've looked at the face;
Of our parents.
Woe to us!

We've sinned!
Says the mouth,
We've sliced people's heart;
With our sharp words,
We've uttered;
The ugliest of words,
Hell is your abode!

We should've said 'Salam',
We should've wetten our tongues;
In the name of;
The Almighty Allah.
Woe to us!

We've sinned!
Says the ears,
We've listened to songs;
Vulgar and horrid are they,
We've listened to backstabbers;
Mockery and insults of others.
Hell is your abode!

We should've listened to 'ilm,
We should've listened to reminders,
We should've listened to the recitations,
Of the Holy Book.
Woe to us!

We've sinned!
Says the heart,
We've imagined the worst,
We've forgotten the One,
We've made Dunya;
Our Ilah,
Hell is you abode!

We should've remembered You,
We should've been thankful,
We should've been humble;
But arrogance exceeded.
Woe to us!

Didn't you see?
What I've given you,
What I've bestowed you,
What I've generously endowed you with?

Why haven't you thought;
Of being thankful,
Of using what's given,
In the cause of Me?

I've given you time,
But you wouldn't repent,
I've given you everything,
But you're blinded,
By the ornaments of dunya.

Indeed,
Ungrateful are they,
Until one fine day,
When Hell;
Is their only way home.
