Self Reflection

Tooba Butt 2002 (Lahore)

Lyric
Hours and hours are gone by,
All my dreams are at stand by

How meticulously we see small things,
Forgetting how great marvels HE brings

It is not difficult to please HIM,
All it takes bows and hymn

Caught up in the charades of never-ending lust,
For it is very easy for HIM to get us bust

All it takes up valor and Divine love,
To plead before HIM and rise above

About this poem

This is about the life and how one forget that the higher power "God" is sufficient to bring ease and comfort. Man need not to worry about the small things but rather put his faith in the Almighty and go with the flow
