Oh Death

Oh Death, Why Are You in a Hurry to Embrace 
Oh death, why are you in a hurry to embrace? 
Why haven't you forgot the way you are told 
Or enjoy a peaceful nap under a date palm ,
Or on the river beach under the wintry sun ?
Why haven't you forgot yourself completely 
 In the beauty of the mystified world 
And passed decades after decades 
Forgetting the order of your Lord ?

Oh death! why are you in a hurry? 
Sit here calmly like an obedient child 
And let me finish some important tasks.
An implored pleading for a little time,
Or it may take a little more, 
To execute some promises by your Lord's name,
To unfastened a knot fixed with love and affection, 
To cut the platonic love for life developing since the day of birth.
