Today, my brother accidentally stepped on our four-day-old chick,
Sending her to a slow struggle between life and death.
I watched, transfixed, at how her little feet kicked continuously.What amazed me is that despite her little time here alone, she still fights
Though her end is near.I wonder:
If it were me,
How would I leave?
Will my death be so instant that my brain won't quickly notice the searing pain?
Or will it be slow and agonising like the little chick's?I marvel at her short life
As she will be leaving with a clean slate
And go to a place where she'll never feel pain.I fear for my mysterious end
I fear for my heap of sins and endless whims
I fear for our negligence that this life is but several days.
As we live each day to that moment where everything will be like a distant dream.
I hope for us that we don't wake up to reality when it's already too late.May Allah give us beautiful endings and may we die with
*lailahaillallah* in our hearts (ameen)
