I knelt to pray but not for long,

I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.

My Muslim duty was now done.

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer.

No time to speak of Allah to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls in need

But at last the time came, the time to die.

I went before my Lord,

I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in His hands God held a book,

It was the book of life.

The Angel looked into the book and said

"Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down...

But never found the time"
