Paradise is no longer here

Oh holding my breathe

Wondering all the things I might have said

From your face I’m sure        

It’s time to say goodbye

So long Mother

Death is near

Paradise is no longer here

When your lungs have given up

Whom have I got, to cry to?

You’re my best friend

Oh Hoyo say it aint so

Your hands are awfully cold

Stop saying you must go

I know, I know I'm on my own

If I hug you, say we are invisible to the world

See I’m acting like a fool, 

thinking as though I can beat death

Malak al-maut will be coming soon

hearing your heart beat weaken

And you’re not speaking

Slowly and suffocating, soon you wont be breathing

My hero, you’re the warrior who bring me here

And I’m sorry we took day to day lives struggles

And happiness wasn’t here to light our lives

But having you as my mother, paradise was here

Warped in a blanket the hug from your arms

When every night we shared our secrets

I appreciate everything, thank you for your care

I know I’ve never said it but Hoyo I love you

Say please it aint to late, now that death is near

Don’t tell me Paradise is no longer here

Remember Allah and know that your pain will end here

Holding a grip to your clothes

Even if I scream loud “don’t forget your test

Don’t forget your lord”, leaving traces of my tears

It’s breaking me as if I’d ripe out my hair

Sitting here holding my breathe

Making a dua for you

In shaa Allah when we have past in this world

Al kawthar is where we shall meet  

Time of death 8:23

The time you left this world

Where death took you

And paradise was no longer here.
