My Lord

In Your Name, The Most High, My Lord, The One

"Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth." -Qur'an

All Praise due to You, The One, The Light.

All peace due to our Prophet, Muhammad, his family and
wonderful companions and the martyrs of Islam,
the ones who gave their lives to keep
Your Name up high

My Lord...nothing higher than You
The eyes are amazed by Your Glory.
The tongue is frozen by Your Mercy.
The ears are shocked by Your Pure Names.
The hands are shaking in thanking Your Grace.
The feet are weak in standing in Your Light.
The heart is troubled by Your Love.

My Lord
All Glory is Yours
The eyes that shed tears for other than You, let it be blind.
The tongue that mentions other than You, let it be mute.
The ears that hear other than You, let it be deaf.
The hands that reach other than You, let it be short.
The feet that stand for other than You, let it be crippled.
The heart that loves other than You, let it be broken.

Without You, My Lord…
The gardens are gray.
The birds don't fly.
The sky is not high.
The heaven is an illusion.

Without You, My Lord…
The friends are enemies.
The sugar is bitter.
The honey is poison.
The food is hunger.

Without You, My Lord…
The sun is nothing but a dark spot in the sky.
The moon is nothing but an insult to the night.
The stars are nothing but little stains in the dark.

Without You, My Lord…
The water is not clear.
The life is full of fear.
The eyes have no tear.
The heart has no rainbow.

However, My Lord, The One, The Compassionate.

With You…
The poison is medicine.
The fire is cold and peaceful.
The ocean is open and dry.
The broken hearts are healed.
The crippled feet run towards You.
The short hands try to reach You.
The tears try to say: "Can I meet You?"

With You…
Life is full of meaning

My Lord!
Do not leave us to ourselves.
Do not leave us alone.
Do not leave us among these wolves.
In the darkness, in the jungle of desires and deception.
Hold our hands, or else we shall fall, and fall and fall and fall.

You, Glory be to You
Even though we do not deserve it
be with Who else other than You?
You are The One
Would You leave Your slaves who are calling upon You
day and night...restless?
No...Never.

Glory be to You
You keep your promises…it is us who break them

Glory be to You
Do not leave us alone
"Hold on to forgiveness, command what is right,
and turn away from the ignorant." ---Qur'an 7:199
