While In The Valley Of Death Poem by Mohammad Younus

While in the valley of death,
You cannot hide and take cover against Izrael,
The angel of death;
Here in this valley, you can't even go to any healer,
To recover from your deep wounds;
Alone in the valley of death but keep looking,
For a way out.

To get yourself out of the Valley of Death,
You must get back on the right track,
Leading to the Valley of Eternal Life;
To regain your true consciousness,
And finally gear up to carry the weight of Trust,
That the heavens, the earth, and the mountains,
Feared and declined to bear;
To withstand this test of faith, you must endure,
The weight of trust, and inshallah one day,
You'll escape the valley of death.

You'll have to swim against the current,
And navigate past the temptations of nafs,
Such that you walk out of the Valley of death,
And climb up to the highest elevation of life.

Release your earthly burdens from your shoulders,
And let the yoke of your evil nafs fall off,
Such that you are absolved of the burdens,
Of earthly desires, and then move forward,
Even when your satanic nafs won't letup;
Know the truth now that past the valley of death,
There's the beautiful valley of eternity!
