Ilaahi Rabbal ‘Aalameen
This day, this hour, now
Is all I have and all I need
To show my thanks somehow
Increase my sight that I may see
The truth sublime so clear
And empty me of every lie
My selfish heart holds dear
I’m drunk on tunes of mirth and sin
Exchange the sounds I’ve heard
For tones of still submission in
The music of Your Word
Avert from me all food and drink
That dulls my thoughts of You
And let the taste of worship burst
From every bite I chew
Allow me breathe the fragrances
That come upon the calm
That blows from where the chosen one
Is sending his Salaam
Ilaahi let me feel the touch
Of all that’s pure and good
Relieve me from a painful fate
Of human firewood
