Decay spread in me low and high,Organ by organ, I see myself beginning to die,Not a single hour passes bywithout reducing part of me away.In obedience to self-desires all done,My youth fortune and strength all gone,And, only now, when moribund,did I remember to obey Allah!!Indeed we did misbehave, totally misbehavedYet, Ya Allah grant us forgiveness, clemency and pardon
