[Yaadein_Meri] Its really high time

 

assalamwalium


Its really high time



Its really high time that we lived our lives
On a conscious level, with our conscience alive


The resources we have won't always be there
If we keep spending them without a care


So here are some questions we need to ask
If we can't answer them, its time we start


Do we leave the lights on when we leave a room?
Do we keep using AC when the weather's cool?


Do we burn up car fuel without a thought?
Do we think "Car pools? –I'd much rather not!"


Do we park wherever there's space and just walk?
Or we go round and round for a closer slot


When we use paper, do we use both sides?
To reduce filing space and garbage size


When we throw out the garbage do we minimize?
Small things in big ones is the way that's right


For each thing we buy is it one shopper bag?
Do we think, "its free, so what is so bad?"


Do we use it again or it's trash it goes in?
Do we put cans and bottles in recycling bins?


Do we throw out good things without second thought?
Does it clutter our homes, all the extras we've bought?


Despite someone, somewhere, being really in need
When with thought and effort, their need we could meet


Do we, without conscience, go on shopping sprees?
While so many people have little to eat


When it comes to food, is it left on our plates?
'Cause we've taken too much in the first place


Do we think about water, do we try to save it?
Have we tried all the ways to stop wasting it?


As for our time, is it precious to us?
Or we say, "life should not be lived in a rush"?


Are we always late, and waste others' time?
Be it meetings or parties, we really don't mind


Do we spend time in planning? Do we work smart?
Or we really feel good when we just work hard


There are so many things we can add to this list
We can do so much if we're conscious of it


It's the way to live a responsible life
It's the best kind of training for yourself and your child


So let us resolve that from now on we'll strive
To live our lives with our conscience alive
