Poetry: God

[The servant of ar-Rahman - a Muslim Poetry]

For words and thoughts I've carelessly thrown,
For my body and soul I do not own,
For time and fate I do not control,
For happiness and love I've always hoped for,
For life and death I've known very little of,
And for my end
I verily know not!

I thank You Allah for everything
:: alhamdulillah ::
I beg Your forgiveness for I have sinned


:: astaghfirullah ::
I seek Your guidance for I am lost
:: ihdini seeraatakal mustaqeem ::
I seek Your assistance for I am weak
:: yassir li amri ya Allah ::
I seek Your refuge from the shaytaan and evil I have within me
:: a'uzubillahi minasy-syaitaanir rajeem, a'uzubillahi min syururi nafsi wa min sayyi-ati a'maali ::

I seek Your companionship for verily I am lonely,
In this obedience quest of this long, tiring journey,
Where I am a stranger to the world,
Nothing seems agreeable to me

Without Your love my life would be empty,
In this world I shall be just a refugee,
From unhappiness to distress,
Meaningless, aimless life without rest
Without You
I am nothing!

To be Your servant means being free,
Where I seek Your pleasure in humility,
Guide me oh Lord,
Love me and set me free,
Untie me from these worldly chains,
That keep my soul grieving in pain

Oh Allah I seek You,
In my prayers,
In my walks and dreams,
I seek You
Oh Allah never leave me feeling lonely,
Let me feel sufficient believing in You,
Working in strong, good faith searching for You
You and only You!

Oh Allah, don't leave me to myself
I shall go astray

Oh Allah, don't leave me to myself
I shall fade away

[This story of ours, temporary and soon to end, verily will be accounted for let not it be the reason for us to grieve the Day where decisions are final, the Day the unbelievers and those who went astray after He had guided them will make various excuses to flee from punishments they had forgotten when hardship was only temporary but in eternity, losers they will be! Na'uzubillahi min dzalik!]

    My feeble mind cannot comprehend,
    Neither can it disregard,
    The love of my dear creator,
    And the severity of his wrath,

    I read a lot and I'm scared and confused.
    Born in sin, cheated and abused.
    I'm feeling low and in so much trouble.
    I drop to
