Is death! the final black clapper of life,
those who fear it die most...?
Some time I sit and wonder
If life is a meander
Life begins in the womb
ends only where Allah know
One comes to this world
crying in sorrow
And leave this earth wailing
for the fear of trying
One reaches the certain
When others remain uncertain
If our life should be tamed
Death shouldn't be blamed
If it is only the lonely
that die slowly
The loved ones never
will they live forever
Now that we have to pay
the price of life we play
BAYEES, it was in the night
Babayi, slain you were on the road
Destituted were your colleagues
On that road carnage
When it happened you uttered Kalimah
Before you slumbed is La-ilaha Illallah...!
I'd have been on that edge
if I was in the village
Bibba, is in awful sorrow
Khalifa, will never know till tomorrow
Whilst your parents mourn
and your friends in forlorn
With your spirit up there
Striving hard we're here
It's only the portitude haven
To bear the irreferable taken
A place for your coming brethren
Adieu our beloved UMAR!
