They used to read the Quran, now they belong to the mobile;

They used to worry for the Ummah, now they belong to the mobile.

Carrying the fragrance of love for the Prophet in their hearts;

They used to speak of righteousness, now they belong to the mobile.

How beautiful were the days with the concern for religion (Deen);

They used to sit in the mosque, now they belong to the mobile.

The direction where there was fear of the eyes committing a sin;

They used to turn their faces away, now they belong to the mobile.

If it was considered objectionable in the eyes of Islam, such a

Desire they used to crush, now they belong to the mobile.

Not even for a single moment should it be infatuated with anyone other than God;

We used to restrain our hearts, now they belong to the mobile.
