Oh Almighty God...! ! Poem by Afzal Shauq

I trusted you
with the hope
you would rescue
my innocent heart
considered where
the holly house
You reside.

Oh All Mighty God!
I realized
my weakness
in front of
the daughter of King Qarun,
who declares me
a criminal
for not following her blindly
She wished to change me
To hate for hate's sake
Keeping the sin of pride.

I being your true worshipper
diligently prayed
my forehead upon the earth
a submissive slave
to show the faith
willing to consider You
the only creator of
humans and spirits
the big Boss
the life giver
Feeder of life's breath
