The Untold Birth  by Muhaimin Misran

Do you still remember the moment you entered this world?

Do you still remember that it was warm before suddenly turning cold?

Everybody waited for your arrival,

Everybody hoped for your survival.

You lived, you survived,

Your cries had your exhausted mother, revived,

You were tucked tight in a clean white cloth,

No more coldness, only warmth.

Your father whispered something in your ear,

You understood nothing although it was crystal clear,

Beautiful and inspiring words you heard,

Though later on, these words are going to sound absurd.

What have you fulfilled your life with?

What have you coloured your heart with?

Do you think you’re sinless?

Is that why you transgress on purpose?

You filled your life with sins,

You broke the law with defiant grins?

Sure you’re proud of your offence,

But when you’re before Him, can you put up a defense?

Remember back on how you started,

You started with nothing saved a white heart,

“Every child is born upon the natural disposition”,* 

You were as clean as the blue ocean,

Did you know? 

The pain that your mother had to undergo?

Did you have any idea?

The extent of the pain? How severe was Severe?

But your mother didn’t care,

No matter what the pain was, she did bear,

Because nothing was a burden,

When it comes to you, her gift from the Heavens.

So return your position back to the start,
Return to the person who held the white heart.

Never let the Darkness control your heart,

Let the Light shine in, go back to the start.
