What About Us


You have said to be sure to show loyalty to your Lord,

Do not argue

Because you are our life's protector.

You have said your creation will glorify the nature

Because you are the best creative creator and,

Your creations are surrounded by millions of messengers and your blessings.

But we are those unfortunates,

who were kicked out of your beautiful garden completely,

What will happen to those who fall in the defenseless water?

Millions of souls are hungry, what will happen to us?

We are your eternal beautiful sculptor,

We need a supportive hands on our head,

What will happen to us?

We are the deaf people in the freedom of speech,

What will happen to us?

We are the bourgeoisie-proletariat class in a capitalist society,  

chasing each other like mice and cat

Who will stop the exploitation?

We are divided into classes in the fight of equality,

What will happen to us?

There is no scope to expand our vision,

We are submerged in a deeply confused conscience,

What will happen to us?

We are thousands of tortured people who want security,

What will happen to us?

You said,
patience is one of the instruments, arrows, soldiers that never gets distracted

You said,

'Oh my children who believe in me!

Be patience and hold a firm actions of the challenges'

You also said,

'And be patience! Surely Allah is with you'

Oh Omnipotent! Oh Lord!

We are those who are constantly absorbed- we rise with questions,

We are those who persevere in your mercy,

We are impatience;

What will happen to us?
