Life is a Thing that Turns on Wheels
By Mansur Ali
When we are asked about our youth
Would we say what we've done the truth?
Have our degrees and diplomas come to use?
Or have they brought us bad news?
Have we branded Islam as an education?
Are we to become a non Islamic Generation?
A garden in paradise or a pit in hell
The choice is ours make it well
The requirements are simple
The rewards are high
Sacrifice the short journey here
For the hereafter you'll have no fear
Think well
Be prepared before we die
Because life is a thing that turns on wheels
Death is a thing that every man feels
If life was a thing that money could buy
Then the rich will live and the poor would die
But Allah in his wisdom has made it so
That the rich and the poor together shall go.
