Dear nafs I am writing you this poem to let you know how much you suck And after years of dealing with your drama, I have finally had enough I thought we had a trust, I had your back you had my front BFF’s until the death, living life with no regrets The way we used to cruise, the days when it was just me and you The world in our rear view, we used to be our own crew It was me, myself and I, best buddies to the end But now I know an open enemy is better than a false friend Where do I begin, perhaps your fascination with sins You’ve been trying to pull me under, but I promise you won’t win Because I am lacing up my boots, ready to tame this wild beast I’m waging war against that fool in the mirror who keeps looking back at me Ageeb, did you really think I would let my own desires succeed Without paying the ultimate price because Wallahi Jannah isn’t free While Jahanam is surrounded by and ease and hypocrisy Indeed, they are in degrees lest my struggle ever cease The scholars say, this world is nothing but a number of days And whenever a day passes away, a part of you passes away You were created from clay, not created for mere play, And you will return back to the dirt the same way that you came Nafsi Nafsi they will say, while they are running in dismay For fear of the judgement day, Oh my Poor soul, what excuses will you make? For the angel of death is on his way, and his list contains your name So do yourself a favour and don’t be of those who’d gone astray And please believe me when I say; every righteous person has a past And every a sinner has a future, so make your best deeds your last Establish your salaah, you will be raised the way you died Haya `ala al-falah, because blankets weigh a ton at fajr time Sincerely worship the Divine for He has sent you many signs Created you from mates, not from apes so all this monkey business is a crime He even swore to you by time, that mankind was in a loss Nafsi Nafsi you are a slave and Al Jabbar He is the boss So who do you fear, better yet what do you love The adornments of this world, or the One whom they come from I’m done with pointless fun, I’m sick of going through that pain We have this love hate relationship, because you love all things which I hate Nafsi Nafsi, can you hear me? Why won’t you take heed and remember You can’t even stand the summer’s heat, how will you ever stand jahanam Abandon your secret sins, for there are no secrets from Him And it’s not the size offence, but it’s the greatness of the One whom you sin against And I don’t want to sound rude, but believe me, everything I’m telling you is true I only want what’s best for you, come fool, I love you You deserve gardens and acres of the most lush and heavenly nature Don`t put your hoor-al-ayn in Danger, glad tidings to the strangers Lower your gaze and be amazed how Allah raises you in honour Every day’s a battle field so treat taqwa like your armour Be dutiful and beautiful to your mother, and your mother and your mother and your father And even when it hurts, smile in the faces of your brothers Give whatever you have, give a date, give even half Give for the sake of Allah and Allah will give you more than you ever had This is the real deal Jihad, I`m fighting my nafs until the white flag Holding myself hostage in tahajjud with no one there to brag Nafsi Nafsi, can I ask, do your friends encourage you to fast Or are they simply there for laughs, like the devil on his behalf So watch who you choose, your companions should be those who adorn Your circle like roses, but keep an eye out for thorns For one day they will be gone, and so shall you be the one to mourn Tears for the day that we die and tears for the day that we are born In this life you will lose the people you love; you may even lose the things that you have, But whatever happens, Oh my soul, make sure that you never lose Islam This dunya is an exam, and its answers are found in the Qu`ran In the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, Alayhi salatu wa salaam So whoever seeks only from this world, then they will find no reward Because you always die too young, if you die without having known your Lord Oh my dear Nafs, may Allah azza wa jal have mercy on your soul May they bury you a Muslim, remain steadfast till you’re old One day you will thank me, at the gates of Al firdous inshaAllah, but until then this means war
