I’ve idled my life away, oh what a pity….
Never thought of the morrow, oh what a pity…

I’ve set the building in the air so foolishly…
My faith on weak foundation, oh what a pity..

I’ve gone too far saying His Mercy is endless..
Forgotten His Name “Qohhar” , Oh what a pity….

I’ve dived into sins and never done any good..
Why gone astray the right path, oh what a pity…

I’ve struggled to win the world and worldy virtue..
And missed the endless blessings, oh what a pity…

The road is rough and dark, the devil leads the way..
Sin are heavy, I weep all day , oh what a pity..

Without a single virtue to appear in my dead-book..
How will this Kholid be saved, oh what a pity…

The following poem is the translation of a part of the Persian Dîwân by Mawlânâ Diyâ’ ad-dîn Khâlid al-Baghdadî
