O’ Children of Adam! Yearn to earn Paradise!



O’ Children of Adam! Yearn to earn Paradise!

 
Engrossed most in the ‘Worldly’ rat race,
Most oblivious to the date, time, and place.
Fulfilled all must live to earn bliss, eternity,
O’ Children of Adam! Death is a certainty.

The world allures, entices, baits, and tempts,
Satan persists to trap us in devious attempts.
All must best tread on the soul 'Path Straight,’
O’ Children of Adam! Bite not Satan’s bait.

We’re blessed with free will and senses five,
To live in ‘Truth,’ be ‘Righteous’ until alive.
Till, plow, sow, reap as many a good deed,
O’ Children of Adam! Play to win, succeed.

Worldly journey is a transit, so connect well,
How well we’ve traveled? Only time will tell.
Live in credit, carry no debt nor any burden,
O’ Children of Adam! ‘Hereafter’ be certain.

‘The Truth’ discern from ‘The Lies,’ all must,
Affirm reaffirm; until dust mingles with dust.
Befooled be not, beware, be aware, be wise,
O’ Children of Adam! Yearn, earn Paradise!

Death allows none to life redeem; it seals fate,
Life – Prepare destiny to meet impending date.
Ere late; all the doubting skeptics must know,
‘Jannah’ avail through ‘HIS’ Mercy, Bestow!
 

O’ Children of Adam! Yearn to earn Paradise!
