π Please, stop lying to yourself through falsely assuming
That I'm "jealous" of your appearance or achievements.
Don't waste your time desperately scheming and plotting
Ways to make me "envy" your nonsense and lame acting.
shaytan was prone to jealousy - I don't applaud him.
~•~
You can wear gold jewelry, afford diamond rings,
Own items with emerald, rubies and other gems,
And take pride in your large income or job position,
And, with Allah's Will, I won't, not for any moment,
Wish I were you or wish I were another person.
~•~
I don't wish to be you, since I'm blessed with contentment,
And know that Allah the Most Wise already destined
And designed the gifts and life journeys of His servants.
Why would I envy donkeys partying in mansions
Or feel threatened by monkeys flaunting trash they've stolen?
~•~
So long as you don't believe that Allah is our King,
And as long as within you lingers discontentment,
While you spy on others' lives online very often,
I won't be feeling envious of your deceptions.
shaytan's a jealous type; I don't wish to copy him.
