My sins block my du'a...

(Author unknown)

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face

It is not salt, but pain that I taste

So I leave now to go stand before You

I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a

I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask

For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

I try and I try but I do not succeed

But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey

Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way

I have no one to blame but the person in the mirror I see

No one else must pay for my sins,
no one else, no one else,
no one else but me

So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can

You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman

I will ask, I will beg but my sins block my du'a

But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah.
