Dear Allah, as I sit here on my own
Writing you this letter
In my cosy warm bedroom
I could not ask for better
So much you have given me
For so little in return
I ask and you provide
Never once have you denied
If I ask you with sincerity
You give me with such celerity
Nothing I can do
Will ever benefit you
But still you give with such openness
I take with such ungratefulness
What you ask from me is solely for my
benefit
Not a thing that I do will be of any
use to you
Dear Allah, as I sit here on my own
Writing you this letter
I find myself once again
Asking you to lend a hand
Please keep me on the path that’s
right
Don’t let me go astray
When I seem to have gotten lost
Please guide toward the right way
