Why must the world inform me of wrongdoings?
All I wanted was to eat my daal chaawal,
Why must I be told of matters beyond my control?
All I wanted was to eat my daal chaawal.
Now my eyes are damaged,
And the chaawal has gone cold,
Now my heart has become heavy,
And the chaawal has gone cold.
The world has passed by yet I am sat here,
While the daal has gone dry,
Virtuous deeds have been imprisoned in time,
While the daal has gone dry.
Minutes, hours, days, months go by and conversations remain the same.
I can’t eat my daal chaawal anymore now can I? It is out of date!

Lesson to learn: Stop talking rubbish and make use of your time, as a poet once said “Time is like a sword, if you do not use it, it will be used upon you.” Similarly, "A sign of Allah's abandoning a person is his useless chatter."
Why must the world inform me of wrongdoings?
All I wanted was to live a life gheebah-free,
Why must I be told of matters beyond my control?
All I wanted was to live a life gheebah-free.
Now my eyes are damaged,
And the popcorn gets warm,
Now my heart has become heavy,
And the popcorn gets warm.
The world has passed by yet I am sat here,
While the popcorn is eaten,
Virtuous deeds have been imprisoned in time,
While the popcorn is eaten.
Minutes, hours, days, months go by and conversations remain the same.
I can’t be gheebah-free now can I? Without being forgiven!
Lesson to learn: Stop doing gheebah and enjoying it as if it were a thrilling movie with popcorn! As Baari Ta'ala mentions, "And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful."

Haq. We should all try to avoid futile talk. On the other hand, if someone indulges in futile talk or is surrounded by people who do, then ummeed he ke Malik e do jahan will forgive when banda asks for ma'afi sincerely. Allah ta'ala hum sub ko ma'af kare. Your daal chawal went dry because you went to eat popcorn instead. Desert before khana. Saheeh nahee.
Assalamu Alaykum,
I urge people to read this article:

as it relates to the poem and is far more beneficial than this.
soo true, we should all eat our dhaal chawal and think about the world: how our life passes away very quickly, how we will grow old and weak, how one day we will leave this world and stand before Allah SWT when no1..especially no petty conversation can save us
to prevent our daal chawal getting cold n having dessert instead, we should start every action with Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, that includes before talking, eating & everything else. That way, daal chawal gharam rahe ga aur Allah Ta'ala aur sare bande kush hoge hamare sat insha ALLAH.
a unique post.
This blog is approaching issues from a different angle, mashaAllah nice!
funny!
Assalamu Alaykum,
do make dua'a that Allah Ta'ala accepts our efforts.
...daal chaawal will never be the same again..
or popcorn.
Wassalam
hehehe ya it never will :D
May Allah (SWT) accept your efforts along with all of our brothers and sisters, inshAllah.
The post you linked to was very beneficial, mashaAllah. Jazakallahu khair.
"Minutes, hours, days, months go by and conversations remain the same." - This is so true. :)
