This World

How wasteful you are of the days and the months!
You spend your lives to no good purpose.
I notice that you are not wasteful in your worldly affairs,
but you do neglect your religious obligations.
Turn this around and you will be on target!
This world has never lasted for anyone, and neither will it last for you.

Mehboob-e-Subhani Shaikh Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani [may God be pleased with him]
