Your Noor outshines the universe which your hands have built.
Your Hub exceeds all hearts which your holiness have made.
Your Ne'ma overflows all kindness which your fingers have woven.
Your Samah passes all wisdom which your generosity have cluttered.
O' God, you're the one who speaks to us
in musical miracles,
unexpectedly throwing chances beneath our feet.
O' Lord, you're the sky's soul & the reflection
of blue upon the sea, the voice that whispers
in my withered ears with the blowing winds.
O' Allah, you whose name is carved upon
everything, bestow this fragile heart your grace!
O' God, you listener to all words spoken,
seer of all that's coming, savant of all that's gone,
embracer of all that's happening,
send your angels upon this soul to cleanse the sins
this mortal body been desiring.
O' Light of suns and stars, speaker of all tongues,
healer of all wounds, forgiver of all wrongs,
merciful of all faithless, father of all humans,
don't abandon this worthless being whose hands
are too short to reach your heaven, whose words
too small to behold your greatness and grace.
O' Generous, I seek, we seek you... in darkness of life.
I crave, we crave your love to be poured upon our heads.
O' Lord, God, Allah, Light, Generous...
and all the names you gave your majestic self...
by them, please don't forsake your servants.
Your promise I behold upon holy water from Zamzam,
drops from your throne... upon your earth.
Amen!
