for us to ponder...

another beautiful poem :


ولدتك أمك يا ابن آدم باكيا"

والناس حولك يضحكون سرورا

فاعمل لنفسك ان تكون إذا بكوا

في يوم موتك ضاحكا مسرورا"


more or less it means : Son (descendant) of adam your mother begotten you and you are crying, The people around you are laughing joyfully, do deeds for yourself if they were to cry, on the day you die you'll be laughing happily.

also added to it by an unknown author that goes :

ولا دار للمرء بعد الموت يسكنها

الا الذي كان قبل الموت يبنيها

فان بناها بخير طاب مسكنه

وان بناها بشر خاب بانيها


" there is no house after death for one to reside in, except the house that he build before death, dwell in good house if it's built with good deeds, if evil deeds is what it is built with for sure it will disappoint the builder"


some says life is short and we should enjoy it...yet those are words for the one that has no believe in hereafter...spending all the moment they own on pleasure...yet for us life is like a test, a field of soil for us to farm on it,where we will be rewarded in hereafter...let us be the one to cry while tying rather than the one to cry when dying...we were born in tears yet are we to die in tears...may it be more than just word in our daily life...



ps : to those who are able to correct me on the wrong translation of the saying is most welcome :D
