Dunya stuff

Dunya stuff

It’s never enough 

So flimsy and vain

Amidst all the pain 

What holds water

Amidst the slaughter 

Oppressor the oppressed?

Don’t see the distress?

Don’t see what matters

It’s all hollow,  will shatter

Where are we, what values matter?

Just chatter, there to flatter?

What legacy to uphold

What sunnah to unfold 

Dunya stuff 

Soon snuffed 

Gaza bombed, let it be

Highway to heaven free

Honour dunya stuff 

Wasted, all a bluff 

Eyes blind

All in the mind

What holds water

Is hearts matter

Deeds one accrues

That the Almighty approves

You can get tough 

With dunya stuff
