Life Is a Short Journey

Life is a Short Journey 
By: Majed Dodeen
 ************************
Our destiny rules over us, even when we are not yet aware of it. The future makes laws for us today.
Friedrich Nietzsche 
*********************************
Life is a journey
Short span of time
Full of ups and downs
We cross its path towards our destination 
From station to station
From birth to death
Predestined steps we are to walk
Predetermined walks we choose to take
On the train or ship of life
A trip, a tour or a voyage
May amaze, surprise or shock us 
May delight, please or motivate us
May carry deep changes
May involve profound fluctuations
May hide unforeseen surprises
Don't let the obstacles of life frustrate your spirit
Not even for a moment
Don't be sad over matters that you fail to get
Be optimistic of what the future holds for you
Live each day as if it's your last
Thank Allah through thick and thin 
Be grateful in good times as well as in bad times
Time goes on 
Life goes on 
Heartbeats stop one day
The devotee soul will knock and penetrate the gates of the sky
Ascending so high
Carried by angels of mercy
How beautiful is the meeting
With the Creator and the Maker 
Of Heaven and Earth.
Enjoying the life of those holy and pious 
A journey of joy and glad tidings 
In life, there are scopes and places
For the believers 
The workers 
The obedient 
The humble
Those who reflect 
Males and females
Those who contemplate
Those who guard their chastity
Those who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues
Those who deserve forgiveness and great reward in Paradise
*************************
Regardle ss of toil, suffering or hardships
Go on with your aptitude and attitude
March towards the high altitude 
Life is made of tide
Rises and falls 
The unseen is a book guarded by our Lord
We read its pages now and then over years
The winner uses every single second of this opportunity
Be satisfied and gratified 
Accept what the Almighty allotted and decreed 
Put on smiles of contentment on face and lips
