I had almost reached the fifth layer of the sky,
When I met Moses with his piercing eyes and staff in one hand,
He looked at me intently and asked,
"Child what are you doing here?"
I replied shyly that I was waiting to go to Heaven.
"Heaven! Laughed Moses,
Allah had already given you Heaven on earth,
You were born in a village with snow clad mountains.
The green trees,
And humming bees ,t
The rustling leaves,
Dancing in the cool breeze.
As the wind plays the harp,
The symphony of the cascading waterfall soothes the soul,
The persistent follow of rivers meandering over rocks give hope,
And the flowers and fauna are nature's beauty.
You left your heaven and family to go to the city,
With it's skyscrapers crowded streets smoggy skies to make money, fame and success,
Nothing happened and exhausted with life you are here to go to Heaven,
Your time is not as yet,
The Angel of Death has made a mistake,
I am sending you back to your hometown,
Appreciate what you have in life.
