I am finished with this life and its people
They are not of me and I am not of them
They are repulsed with me and I turned off of them
I tried to find my way in their way, instead found myself astray
They only take from me and scoff when I am in need
I will not deny their taking even though I know their greed
I only deny my need because I seek refugee from greed
Again and again I am humbled
Fooled by my reliance on man and earth
Foolishness that had me forget thankfulness
Depriving me of bounty meant for me
Enough already, I am finished with this life
I seek refugee from the evil in it
If I knew my place was secure I would end my bonds with this life
I have no such promise from my Lord
So I hold on and pray for ease in good deeds
Hasten the the acts of righteousness in hopes that they will overcome
So when the unseen are in plain sight I will be pleased
So insha'Allah I may be of those whose desires are fulfilled
Of those who are pleased with Allah as their lord
Of those privileged to hear that Allah is pleased with them
