O Poor Man! O Poor Man! O Poor Man! Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

O Poor man! Your money will not be yours When you pass away anytime, anywhere, and everywhere Simply because all of them will share it Away from you and Even without your permission... O Poor man! Your tomb will be your next house Together with those worms that are waiting for you eagerly... O Poor man! Your death is inevitable, so Why do try to be here for ever and ever? O Poor man! No one dares to accompany you To where you will be buried alone... O Poor man! Try to learn from those who left Earlier into the other world With one's deeds... O Poor man! Know that death chases you eagerly, so Why do you try to avoid it anytime, Anywhere, and everywhere? ______________________________________________________________________
