Forgive me Forever
The wage of sin is so heavy
That I cannot bear the burden.
God is not at all contended
On seeing the doings of by-gone days.
When I look at a mirror
To see my shattered visage
I shudder and appall
On seeing my ugly face.
My face bears the stamps
Of curse of whole human race.
When I go to the mosque
To repent and shed penitential tears,
I remember my cruel deeds
And I shiver at unknown fears.
When I go to sleep
In the very dead of cold night,
My fond memory brings my by-gone days
Before my tired inward-eyes.
My life seems a heavy burden,
Too heavy to move ahead.
I am in a cauldron of darkness
Swirling round in an infinite way.
O, heavenly light, give a ray of your beam
To alight my dark soul.
Forgive me forever and ever
Or I will remain steeped in sin as a whole.
Shakil ahmed.
Good poem on restitution. When you know you've sinned and you confess so, you're always forgiven. Always search your inner self in a mosque or in a church.
Piuos poem! You go to a mosque! - i go to Christ church - and He forgives everything immideately after confession. I feel it. it doesnt mean that I forget the sin - no. it means that I feel light instead and start to hate sin and never want to repeat it again. That is true! God is very merciful! He paid by His blood for our sins!

Great job! Being remorseful is a great sign of repentance...
