I forgot this dunya was a prison for the believer,
So I became comfortable and I called it my home.I forgot the believer lives as a stranger passing by,
And I was deceived by the mere entertainment of dunya.I forgot its happiness withers just like the rose,
And I wondered why I was no longer happy.Ya Allah, I forgot what it meant to be a believer.
Ya Allah I did not forget You, but I forgot myself.
Yet You remembered me when I forgot.Ya Allah let not this forgetful slave of Yours wander in the darkness of this prison.Ya Allah take me back, for I am a lost soul without your remembrance.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
