I never prayed for myself,
Feeling it might be selfish, I confess,
Unaware that Allah listens to each soul's plea.
I was a somber child, never truly at ease,
Lost in constant pain, with no moment of peace.
When all else failed, I turned to Allah above,
I wept through the night, seeking mercy and love.
"Take this pain away, or let my breath depart,"
I pleaded with earnestness, from a sincere heart.
Neither wish was granted, yet I didn't despair,
For surely Allah has a grander plan to bear.
Now I wait for my destiny as decreed by Allah,
One thing is certain, that night drew me near,
I cried and I cried, though answers were scarce,
But I felt heard for the first time, crystal clear.
It deepened my faith in Allah and Islam's grace,
Now I strive to be a humble servant, finding my place.
Hoping that one day, as the Muslim I aspire to be,
My pain will be lifted, in Allah's decree I'll see.
They say, Allah never burdens beyond one's scope,
In His wisdom, He guides and gives us hope.
A source of strength, through day and night.
In every challenge, in every path you trod,
And I, for one will forever and always have faith in my Allah.
