Angels of death
Angels of death, their purpose fulfil
Leave us in sorrow as the person is still
What is it like on the other side
Joyful moments for those who abide
Continuous joy on the rungs of Barzakh
Constant brightening on the horizon in shafaq
Angels of death on a mission of mercy
Help you along where you’re alone with no clergy
Instant flowering of the seeds sown
As harbingers of joy good deeds are flown
Cross the veil of death, joy to be seen
For those who’ve stayed committed to deen
Grief stricken we’re left behind
Of the unknown we see no visible sign
Iman most visible we experience at death
The angels presence we sense at the last breath
Gently the angels withdraw your soul
When they know you’ve been focussed on your goal
Angels of death a blessing indeed
When we stick to sabr and good deed
Oh angels of death be good to me
When you come to set my soul free
Let me return to my Allah be full of glee
He be pleased and welcome me
