Oh Allah, May You Bless Muhammad! Poem by Mohammad Younus

Oh Allah, may you bless Mohammed!
Oh Allah, may you bless Mohammed!
He told everything to me...
...that you revealed to him;
My Lord, be merciful with me!
Your mercy is huge and unbounded;
Since I don't know what awaits me,
I cry for my forgiveness to you;
If You punish me,
I can't rebel against You;
He told everything to me...
...that can earn me your pleasure;
My soul has been careless;
I indulged in all sorts of sins;
My greatest sin is my negligence;
I do not work honestly to know myself;
I see myself quite remote from you;
I do not realise that you are nearby to me;
Since my age is coming to end...
...I have a great sorrow that I have not done...
.. what the prophet commanded me to do;
Since heedlessness has fallen upon me...
...I have lost the way that leads to you;
Since you are most merciful, most forgiving...
...I have got in you my ultimate hope.
