DON'T CRY BUT CRY
Don't cry for a loss of wealth
For you won't need it in your grave
Don't cry for a loss of status
What Allah thinks of you matters most.
Don't cry for a loss of a job
It's a means not to give up
Don't cry for a loss of a loved one
Rather maximize your time to know the Sublime.
Don't cry over a betrayal
It may be one of God's trials
Don't cry over a mistreatment
There's a price in being patient.
Don't cry over outright lies
The world's too big, and wide are the skies
Don't cry over an abrupt goodbye
Trust in Allah's plan for HE Alone knows why.
Don't cry over bitter criticisms by people
Good attitude can make it manageable
Don't cry over how little you think of yourself
Life's happiness found in contentment.
Cry when you miss a single prayer
It'll be the first question you'll have to answer
Because on the very Day of Judgment
We'll fear Allah's Punishment.
Cry when all you do is backbite
For that sin is never so light
Would you want to eat your own flesh again and again?
And reside as a fuel for fire in Jahannam?
Cry when you've never feed the hungry
Or refuse to help out you own family
There are many blessings found in charity
The best of which is to please the Almighty.
Cry when you'd rather be in a haram love affair
Than spending time obeying your creator
Cry when you've sacrificed too much just to be loved by the creation
Neglecting your Islamic duty puts you in dangerous situation.
Cry when you've been a disobedient child
Unkind and disrespectful to your mother and mother
For loving your parents and serving them well
Is a deed that manifests your true love and care.
Cry when you associate a partner
To the Lord of the Worlds, The Compeller
Because we're created for just one goal
To pray to Allah, the Mighty, the All - Knower.
Cry when you cry for the insignificant
Cry when until now you haven't had asked for forgiveness
But do not cry when you know the clock is still ticking
Instead turn your life around, there's still hope, as long as you're living.
