When we have finally made it
And feel on top of the world
Do we remember Allah?
Or do we just think
We made things happen ourselves?
Do we remember Allah?
Do we remember to thank Him?
Or do we just think
Nothing can make grace grass again?
Do we remember Allah?
Or do we just think of becoming
More of the shining star?

We have committed
The same sin again
Do we remember Allah?
Or have we forgotten the promise
We made never to do such again?
Do we remember Allah?
Do we remember to ask for His forgiveness?
Or do we just think
Nobody can see us
Do we remember Allah?
Or do we just think of committing
More of those sins?

When something very sad
And bad has happened
Do we remember Allah?
Or do we just look
For who to blame?
Do we remember Allah?
Do we remember to pray to Him?
Or do we just cry and cry
For the rest of the week?
Do we remember Allah?
Or do we just start
Thinking of other possibilities to it?

When we make appointments
For the next day
Do we remember Allah?
Or are we sure
There will be a tomorrow?
Do we remember Allah?
Do we remember to say Insha-Allah?
Or do we think all we say must necessarily come to past?
Do we remember Allah?
Do we remember to thank Him?
Do we remember to ask for His forgiveness?
Do we remember to say Insha-Allah?
