Priorities in Life Busy, busy, busy is on everyones tongue Like a number one song, a million times sung Running around crazy, as rational as a clown Confusion and mayhem, things are upside down Something is missing, something not quite right Something so obvious, like black on white My heart is agitated and in a state of suspense As I try and define it, only an absence I sense Life seems to have no purpose any longer As I seek the elusive fame, status and wonga! Laugh you may, but were in the same boat Chasing a dream which is misleading and remote Surely mankind has a real purpose to serve Surely there is something better we deserve Better than the rich kid, respected and cool? Designer cloths, fast car, a penthouse with a pool? Better than parting and chilling with the boys? Mobile phones, laptops, x-box and fancy toys? Definitely there is more to life than these To real happiness these are not the keys We must wake up and we must get wise There is something better, we must realize Take a few deep breaths and deeply think Because into your heart the truth must sink The big problem is - our priorities are wrong Everything has a place in which it belongs So re-arrange things in their proper layers First on the list is the daily prayers Dont take it lightly -Salah must be completed And day in day out, it must be repeated Even if you are travelling or have ill-health Or are tired and old or are busy getting wealth The Salah is the link you must never neglect This is the golden rule you must respect It separates the Muslims from the rest of mankind And by this Salah, the Muslims are defined Bowing and prostrating, the prophet prayed In performing the Salah, he never delayed Before his maker, the prophet would stand Submitting to and followed every command In this spiritual ecstasy hours would pass by And many tears from his eyes he would cry Asking for guidance and forgiveness for all And asking for mankind to accept the call If we follow this example, we will also succeed so for true guidance, we should also plead We should turn to Salah, at our times of need And only towards goodness this will lead All the rest of the problems will disappear And true peace and happiness will appear The salah will embrace the soul like a friend Things will come together - all wounds will mend All the missing pieces will fall in their place And this life on Earth, we will truly embrace The link with Allah will not be broken, This is the promise that Allah has spoken To pray the Salah, dont ever forget To pray the salah, you must always respect To pray the salah, you must never neglect To pray the Salah, to Allah will connect. Your right priorities have to be defined and chasing shadows, you must leave behind In praying your Salah, success you will find With contentment in life and peace of mind Dedicated to brothers and sisters who knows that they need to start praying more regular (including me). May Allah give us all the guidance and strength to prioritise our lives properly and through His mercy attain success in this life and in the hereafter (ameen).
