O Lord! I kneel down to You because of my firm and un-dwindling faith
And follow your commandments revealed in the Last Book
Can’t think of denying meeting You hereafter
For the accountability of my deeds, and the subsequent fate!
Lord! You created me and bestowed with uncountable blessings
A heart that feels and a mind that thinks together with intent and authority
To choose good from evil, virtue from sin, to become a better and helping human being
Alas, I still remain highly unthankful, unsatisfied and fervently insatiable.
Pardon me Lord but people argue, if I were not a Muslim by default
I wouldn’t have reverted to Islam, merely because of the conduct of Muslims
Even the cursory contact with Islamic teachings would’ve done little to lure me
That’s why more than two-third of the world population is still wayward!
Forgive me Lord! They take my bowing down as performance of a ritual
And express it with various names like sheer fear, threat, voracity and smarmy
Insist that some contents of the Last Book are irrelevant to present life and need an Update
But Lord, they are astray like those who witnessed miracles but still perished as nonbelievers.
Health, wealth, cozy life, etc., have tarnished my mind and heart
Either I take them for granted or term them an outcome of my own toil
Lord! Have mercy on me, bolster my faith, and instill Your love
O Omnipresent! Cleanse my heart; make me feel grateful, an ardent and humble believer.
The Supreme - call it -God, Lord, Allah Bhagvan - resides in all of us. Our actions and deeds as long as are selfless without any intention to hurt we reflect a good living. If we recognize our shortcomings and make attempts to change that too is reflective of a good living. Forgivng and compassion lead to inner happiness. Inner Happiness ultimately reveals the supreme becos we then become ONE with the creator The Lord the God, Allah or Bhagvan.
