Oh My Dear Child...
Oh My child,
When you feel you're always right,
Then, none of our advice can reach your heart,
When you feel we're always out to bash you,
Then, none of our advice is right or true,
When you feel we always look down on you,
Then, even when we praise you, it'll turn cold and blue,
When you feel we never trusted you,
It's all because you never gave us a chance to,
When we decide something for you,
Never think it's only for our own selfish gain,
It's actually a calculated plan,
Your welfare in mind and everyone else's, hand in hand.
Oh my dear child,
Why do you treat Allah's gift so carelessly?
Why do you not nurture them wholeheartedly?
Why do you not cherish them scrupulously?
Why do you not guard your worldly desires?
Why do you not guard your worldly desires?
Why do you entertain unaffordable pleasures?
Why do you deny that these are evil seeds?
Why do you take them as 'allowed' treats?
Oh My child,
When you've attained success,
Stick to Allah's path, that's the best,
And we hope that you'll forever remember,
All the hardship we had to suffer,
All the humiliation we've involuntarily 'garnered',
All the embarrassment we savored,
In the course of assisting you through,
To achieve your ambition, so fine, so true,
No, we are not asking repayment from you,
Just treat us how a child to his parents, should,
With Allah's help, we hope you'll hold the reins,
To finally see the light of success at the very end,
And surely Allah's pleasure is the ultimate gain!
