Comparison
Is such a source of grief
What the other has
Always seems  brighter

The eyes are so alert
To see what the other has
Mostly weighs as better
Than what I have

How to change perceptions
Be glad with what’s yours
The slip and fall occurs
No matter how happy you were

Something always hits
That his is better
If my life’s journey
Is about the rat race

Ensure I’m one step ahead
On something somewhere
Watching my back
To stay ahead on track

Forever chasing dunya
I need to be top brass
In acquisition of things
Best cruise, best trip

Even the umrah and hajj
Are a conversation piece
To cause envy n grief
Something to compare

It’s so clearly stated, look below
Compete only for goodness
Race for Allah’s rida
Be pleased with his decree
