Analysis of Be prepared to answer the call, ere late……
Ishtiyaq 1964 (Karari)
Be prepared to answer the call, ere late……
The mellow setting of the blazing sun,
Truly does not mean the day’s done.
Eager, look forward to the moon’s rise,
Be conscientious and timely realize.
Night and day, get known by the sun,
Moon ends a month, and a new begun.
Weeks, months, years fleet; life rolls by,
Until arrives the forgotten day to die?
So, the days, nights, months, and years,
In ‘Truth’ live; not in ‘Falsity’ nor fears.
Reminded by the sun, moon, each star,
Beware of ‘The Day,’ ‘tis near not far.
Accept ‘HIS’ signs; they truly beckon,
Righteous arise on the ‘Day of Reckon.’
Resolute be, to meet destiny with date,
Be prepared to answer the call, ere late……
