My Lord how can I thank you when
Each instance of my thanking
Becomes reason to give thanks again

When hearts are heavy
And eyes are wet
And skies are cast
With dark regret
Then burn the ‘ūd
Of sweet durūd

And let it rain
Just let it rain

Ya Rabb
Incline my heart
To all that pleases You
And in Your pleasure let me find
My end

Vast is the sea of imbecility
That stretches from the shores
Of instant gratification
To the seaside crags
Of I can’t wait to be patient

If you concede
That you don’t know
How the next ten seconds
Of your life may go
Then the plans you make
Will rise and bake
At temperatures
Even and low
