I wonder...

I wonder how a person can be happy, who is certain of death.

I wonder at a person who is certain of reckoning

(the Day of Judgement), but still accumulates wealth.

I wonder at a person who is certain of going into the grave,

but still smiles without concern.
I wonder at a person who is certain of this world's doom,

but still has tranquillity in loving this world.

I wonder at a person who is certain of the hereafter and its bounties
but he still rests.

I wonder at a person who is knowledgeable in his speech,

BUT ignorant in his heart.
I wonder at a person who cleans him/herself with water,

but does not cleanse his heart.

I wonder at people who look for bad points in others,

but ARE unaware of the same in themselves.

I wonder at a person who knows that Almighty Allah is aware of his
actions, but still commits sins.
I wonder at a person who preaches to the people,

but does not preach to his own soul.
I wonder at a person who knows that he/she will die alone,

go into the grave alone & give accounts alone,

but is still totally engrossed with
people who will not be able to help him/her.
