Lord Of All The Worlds! Poem by Mohammad Younus

Lord of all the worlds!
Set me within the safe defences of Thy mercy,
In ignorance and waywardness...
...
I have wasted all my days,
My soul is lost in wilderness,
Thy gift of divinely attributes...
...have I not properly used,
My life term is fast coming to an end,
While love for the earthly things...
...grips hard upon me,
Many sciences have I learned,
Yet little fruit have I got of all my learning:
I have forgotten Thee and thy religion,
Forgive me...
...and guide me on the straight path,
Grant me knowledge and wisdom,
Grant me awareness and enlightenment,
Set me always in your presence...
...under your protective care,
Let my friends know:
I trust madly in divine providence,
Thou art my sole comforter,
Thou keepest me fenced from doubt and fear,
Such that I walk orderly in this chaotic world,

The day you decide to bless me, my Lord,
Flood me with your immense love,
And leave nothing of ‘me' and ‘mine',
Till then, let me purge myself of my sins,
And ask of you to forgive me through...
...removing all my shortcomings,
But once you feel like forgiving me,
Just let me do a sincere repentance.
