Malam Pertama di Dalam Kubur

Dust is my bed
Embraces me
And it’s my cover now
The sand surrounds me
Even behind my back
And the grave tells a darkness of my affliction
And the brightness draws a line

Where is my family’s love?
They sold my loyalty!
And where is my group of friends?
They left my brotherhood
Where is the bliss of money?
It’s behind my back now
And my name (reputation)
Where is it shine between praises

This is my end dust is my bed
And love farewells its longing
And my elegizing cried
And the tears went dry after crying
And the universe became narrow and so is my space
And the grave became my ground and sky
This is my end dust is my bed
Fear fills my estrangement
And sadness is my illness
I expect firmness
And I swear it’s my cure
And for Allah I pray faithfully
You are my hope
Allah, I desire heaven, to find bliss in it

* Dunia adalah kesenangan dan kemewahan yang memperdayakan. Jangan terpedaya dengan dunia. Apabila tiba saat kematian, kita akan meninggalkan segala-galanya yang kita miliki di dunia- isteri/suami,anak-anak, harta yang banyak, rakan-rakan, pangkat dan kuasa segala tiada bererti lagi. Mahukah kita tertipu dengan dunia? Apakah ingatan itu akan hanya bergema ketika sudah menempuh MALAM PERTAMA DI DALAM KUBUR? Carilah bekalan amalan untuk dibawa ke dalam kubur. Jangan terpedaya dengan dunia yang sementara kerana kita akan menempuh alam yang kekal dan abadi.
