DEATH

     Md. Abdul Mannan Yaqubi

Death is always on your neck
Like a rider,
One day he will throw you
To the world hereafter.
You are unable to release
From his chain ever-
Death is always on your neck like a rider.

With wife, kids, honour and
Wealth, you're attracted,
And mirth and luxury
Make you delighted.
You averse to the place where
You'll be ever dweller--

Death is always on your neck like a rider.

This world is your permanent
Address never,

And your abode will be 

In the next world sooner.

You must remember death which will
Send you there-
Death is always on your neck like a rider.

You must make capital here
For hereafter,
And can make  it vast abiding
By God's order.
Otherwise, your next world will be
Full of danger-
Death is always on your neck like a rider.

After death you'll get the heaven
Or the hell,
In accordance with what you earn
By your works here.
Before death, it is high time
You realized it, o dear!
Death is always on your neck like a rider.
