Come Sit With Me Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

Come Sit With Me



Come
Yes, you!
Come and sit with me
Near the window
Overlooking the Dunya
Come and talk with me
Look at that man
How feeble he has suddenly become
Was it not just a few seconds ago
When in strength he had swam?
Oh Yes!
I saw him yesterday
Melting in vigour
He exuded such strong passion
Do you know what passion that was?
Of course I would tell you
He knew too well what today held in store
He knew the skin will wrinkle
The joints will weaken
Movement will be hard
Action will be low
Oh Yes!
He knew that time will work on him
His passion was one
To merit from his youth before today
Service to the Creator
That was his passion
In strength and now in weakness
I am grateful for your company
Go now!
Go and have a chat with your conscience!
