Poem : YA ALLAH

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

All praises are for you Allah,
...how I hope that you are there.

For sinful though I know I am,
...your displeasure I can not bear.

Never, till this moment,
...did I realize how much I've strayed.

Never, till now, was I more conscious
of all those times when
I should have prayed.

For sins are like heavy baggage,
that one carries through Life, the airport.

Why didn't I realize sooner,
that Earth is but a place of sport?

Ya Allah ! Forgive me.
Save me from the fire of Hell.

Forgive me as you did my parents,
from Jann'ah though they fell.

Ya Allah ! Protect me.
From myself for my soul is weak.

Let me not falter ever,
for Jann'ah is the abode I seek.

Ya, Allah! Please help me.
For I don't understand and thus, I fear.

What happened to all those moments
when I never doubted that you were near ?

My actions once were guided,
by my faith which, once, was strong.

Ya Allah! please guide me .
What happened, what went wrong ?

Each footstep that I used to take,
I took with you ever near my side.

The Quran was my faithful companion,
Rasulullah (s.a.w) my beloved guide.

How I yearn for those bygone days (ya) Allah,
for I know that the day comes near.

When we'll each receive our just rewards,
and Truth will stand sparkling clear.

Life is like a spider's web (ya) Allah.
We get caught in its tricky snare

So thoroughly are we disillusioned,
time for salat we can not spare.

I sit here and I wonder, Ya Allah!
Why did I fall so low ?

What happened to my faith (ya) Allah?
Where did my Iman go?

In this earthly life of ours,
so often does sin seem right.

Falsehood seems to be the truth,
as if days are confused with night.

Man is an imperfect creature.
And thus, man shall always wrong.

For the road to Jann'ah is rocky,
and the journey seems awfully long.

Ya Allah ! Our creator,
we are all just pieces of clay.

Please help us with our steps in life,
and let us not lose our way.

All praises are for you Allah,
I know that you are near.

I know that you have read my heart,
and my words I know you hear.
