Dar Al Ghoroor: World of Pride





This is a world of pride
And I am a stranger in it
Foolishly I wished to boast with them
My piling up could never be high enough
Satan whispers to the heedless
Oh how he played and danced and sang in my ear
I forgot that I was destined for an embracing grave
I forgot that I would answer for my favours
I forgot until I saw with a clear certainty
I forgot that I would see hell
Had I remembered I would have loathed wealth
I would have known that this is a world of pride
and I am a mere stranger in it
