“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer”
To you, my friend, my words speak out.
Down through the days, and across the lonely nights
You were my voice, my rejuvenating light
My didactic soul, which would set things just right
A generous wallet when money gets tight.
The ominous years, oh they seemed so endless
Strolling down the campus, SO very crimeless
Taking up a habit, with much deftness
Laughing our heads off, free and guiltless.
On the top of the train,we jumped, jubilantly
“I wanna drive this train!” you shouted, choicely
Alas my friend, our train has taken off, brusquely
You’re leading it, and I’m following, breathlessly.
My buddy, our lives have been tangled up,
With time trashing us into the zone of grownup
With ever so little buildup, few muckup and lots of crackup
Let’s just ace the times, with sincere faiths that we holdup.
Let's enlighten souls, let them shimmer with light
Let's break more rules, and maybe repent at night
Let's let the Ummah rule,oh let’s spread the insight
For ,my friend its all worthy, at the end of the flight
We’ll look back, proud of our foresight
We’ll nod in contentment at all the fights
We’ll meet our Lord, in an outfit of a bummed-out knight
Prostrate to him, whispering in delight:
“Oh thank you Allah,for guiding us through such a world, so finite.”
Have a very blessed Bday,Byear,and Blife.
We get to live it just once,let's just BLUNDER bigtime,make up,and eventually live it right.
