خجل من نفسي هل أحظى بوصال

كُلُّ     حَيٍّ     سَيَمُوتُ        لَيْسَ  فِي  الدُّنيا    ثُبُوتُ
حَرَكَاتٌ   سَوْفَ   تَفْنَى        ثُمَّ    يَتْلُوها       خُفُوتُ
وَكلامٌ    لَيْسَ       يَحْلُو        بَعْدَهُ    إِلَّا       السُّكُوتُ
أَيُّها  السَّادِرُ   قُلْ     لِي        أَيْنَ   ذَاكَ      الْجَبَرُوتُ
كُنْتُ مَطْبُوعاً عَلَى النُّطْ        قِ  فَمَا  هَذَا    الصُّمُوتُ
لَيْتَ   شِعْرِي      أَهُمُودٌ        مَا   أَرَاهُ    أَمْ    قُنُوتُ
أَيْنَ   أَمْلاكٌ   لَهُمْ     فِي        كُلِّ     أُفْقٍ      مَلَكُوتُ
زَالَتِ   التِّيجَانُ     عَنْهُمْ        وَخَلَتْ   تِلْكَ     التُّخُوتُ
أَصْبَحَتْ  أَوْطَانُهُمْ    مِنْ        بَعْدِهِمْ   وَهْيَ      خُبُوتُ
لا   سَمِيعٌ   يَفْقَهُ     الْقَوْ        لَ  وَلا   حَيٌّ     يَصُوتُ
عَمَرَتْ    مِنْهُمْ    قُبْورٌ        وَخَلَتْ    مِنْهُمْ      بُيُوتُ
لَم تَذُدْ عَنْهُمْ نُحُوسَ  الدْ        دَهْرِ إِذْ  حَانَتْ    بُخُوتُ
خَمَدَتْ  تِلْكَ     الْمَسَاعِي        وانْقَضَتْ  تِلكَ    النُّعُوتُ
إِنَّما     الدُّنْيا       خَيَالٌ        بَاطِلٌ   سَوْفَ      يَفُوتُ
لَيْسَ    لِلإِنْسانِ      فِيهَا        غَيْرَ  تَقْوَى  اللهِ     قُوتُ

كُلُّ حَيٍّ سَيَمُوتُ

يا طول شوقي إِن قالوا الرحيل غدا || بصوت قاسم بكار

﴿يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلتَنظُر نَفسٌ ما قَدَّمَت لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ﴾ [الحشر: ١٨]

وهذه الآية الكريمةُ أصلٌ في محاسبة العبد نفسَه، وأنَّه ينبغي له أن يتفقَّدها؛ فإنْ رأى زللاً؛ تداركه بالإقلاع عنه والتوبة النصوح والإعراض عن الأسباب الموصلة إليه، وإن رأى نفسه مقصراً في أمر من أوامر الله؛ بذل جهدَه واستعانَ بربِّه في تتميمه وتكميله وإتقانه، ويقايس بين منن الله عليه وإحسانه وبين تقصيرِهِ؛ فإن ذلك يوجب له الحياء لا محالة.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلتَنظُر نَفسٌ ما قَدَّمَت لِغَدٍ | ش.مصطفى الشيباني.

أَكْبَر الْشِــدَاَتْ | مٍشَاري العفَاَسِي

The song tells the story of a man who wakes up to heartbreak, loss, and inner torment. After being abandoned by the woman he loved, he finds himself haunted by memories, regret, and a deep sense of emptiness. As he wanders through life, he symbolically meets the Devil at a crossroads, representing a moment of temptation and self-reflection. Throughout the song, he grapples with themes of love, death, sin, and the search for freedom. The chorus repeats his pivotal encounter with the Devil, emphasizing how it changed him forever. Ultimately, the song paints a picture of a man shaped by suffering but still chasing redemption on a lonely road.


Lyrics:

Title: "Devil at the Crossroads"

Tempo: Slow shuffle blues – Harmonica intro over acoustic slide guitar

[Intro – Harmonica & Guitar]
[12 bars – moody, dirty slide and bent harp notes]


---

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', sky was black as sin
The bottle was empty, the fire burned within
She left a letter, said “Don’t follow me”
Now I’m talkin’ to the mirror, beggin’ to be free
The wind howled like a hound through the sycamore trees
And I swear I heard the Devil laughin’ in the breeze


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Verse 2]
Mama told me, “Boy, don’t chase that thrill”
But I danced with danger just to feel somethin’ real
Love came like thunder, then it rolled away
Left me countin’ tombstones in the light of day
I buried my heart under blood and bone
Now I ride this highway achin’ and alone


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Bridge – Harmonica & Guitar]
[Slow-down, heavy bends – call and response between harp and slide guitar]
[“Ain’t no savior on this road, just dust and broken souls…”]


---

[Verse 3]
Saw a preacher cryin’ by a burnin’ gate
Said, “Son, even Heaven makes you wait”
I tipped my hat and I walked on by
With a dead man’s grin and a bloodshot eye
‘Cause I ain’t afraid of Hell no more
I shook hands with death and he opened the door


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Outro – Spoken over harmonica vamp]
Yeah… life took my woman… death took my pride…
But freedom’s just a step beyond the fire…
And the Devil?
He’s just a man with a deal you can’t trust…

[Harmonica fades into the distance]

I find it easy to sing about the universe like a stone... But beings that mean more than that .. That's tough. Love you Matilda

The pic is from a screenshot from a video where I spent a minute trying to get Matilda to say Mama... Then I asked her to say Dada once... This is the moment Matilda first said Dada. 5 months and 25 days young 🌱

Eh for the record her first word was Yoda (no messing), our Jedi Cat 😆

Thank you for completing me Matilda, along with your bro and sisters. I am the luckiest person alive
