The Day Death Calls Your Name
Dr. Sabina Yeasmin

No footsteps of Azrael’s arrival are ever heard—
yet behind every dawn hides an invisible farewell.

The person who was writing dreams for the future just yesterday,
today their names are only an old story to the wind.

The grave asks no questions—
yet beneath its soil lies the greatest answer of life.

We build palaces, gather wealth, seek people’s praise,
yet at the final destination, only a few yards of white cloth are needed.

How many faces once spread light along the path of the world,
today the river of time carries not even their traces.

People care for their faces in the mirror,
but forget to wipe away the dust from their hearts.

Sin sometimes comes carrying the fragrance of flowers,
then closes the door of darkness from within.

O human—
your hidden tears, the tears no one sees,
perhaps those are your truest identity before the Lord.

When the forehead bows down in prostration,
it is not the earth that breaks—rather, the arrogance of the soul breaks.

The path of return is not beyond the skies,
it begins within the sincere call of a broken heart.

One day the sun will stop with its burning light,
the stars will lose their old addresses;
the seas will stop, the mountains will bow before time.

But the heart that once called upon Allah in the final night of darkness—
that call will never be lost;
as the light of mercy, that call will continue to shine on the path of eternity.
