I Will Die One Day Poem by Mohammad Younus

I will die one day,
With a desire to reemerge,
In some peaceful land,
God's promised paradise!
On a day I already remember,
As the day of my resurrection,
I won't then die again —
I don't shy away—
From making an aspiration:
Getting to the place where,
Love and Joy are eternal and infinite,
Would that it be so!
These lines, I am writing to express...
...my belief in life after death,
And, today like never before,
I've turned back,
To my lord for mercy and forgiveness,
I am on my road to God,
Walking myself alone,
Satan is not walking along me,
He is sitting in ambush;
He always tries to stop me,
From walking on the road...
...of love and peace,
And keeps hitting me with his clubs,
Every time, I fight him back...
...even though he ties me with ropes,
Does everything to entice me,
And hold me in his snares,
I remember the warning of Allah:
'Have I not taken a pledge from you...
...O' children of Adam! ...
...that you will not follow Satan,
Your open enemy! '
