No Time


I want to share this poem for you all. about "pray". by Fatma Muslima



“PRAY”

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time.

and with Indonesian versi like this..

SHOLAT

Kulipat lutut dan bersujud, namun tak lama
Banyak urusan untuk dituntaskan
Harus bergegas dan kembali bekerja
Untuk makan dan bayar tagihan


Maka kulipat lutut ringkaskan sholat

Berdiri segera langkahkan kaki

Lega hati pikiran istirahat

Satu kewajiban telah terpenuhi


Tak ada waktu aku melihat

Membawa Allah di antara teman

Sampaikan firman-Nya walau satu ayat
Malu diri jadi cemoohan


Tak ada waktu, tak ada waktu

Banyak urusan untuk dituntaskan

Tak ada waktu bagi jiwa yang perlu
Sibuk makan dan bayar tagihan


Waktu berlalu bagaikan kilat

Menyambar nyawa lepaskan jasad
Kini jiwa di tengah mahkamat

Tertunduk di depan penguasa jagad

Di tangan Allah buku kebaikan


Namun namamu tak Kutemukan

"Dahulu kuingin menuliskan

Namun tak ada waktu tuk menggoreskan"

now, how? I hope we can take a positif things for that's poem :)
