A Scream of Repentance

Free Me. 

Free me from this body that cages me

Free me from these thoughts that enrage me

Free me from this mind that betrays me

Free me from these hands that won't obey me

Free me from these sins that have gripped my throat so firmly 

Soften my heart to a moment of honesty 

Oh Shaitan, I hope you fear the fury that is inside of me

For when we meet again, I won't be the one that's crying

Let these tears turn oil black and feed the fight that is inside me

Oh Almighty, give me strength when I am weary

Sharpen my sword when it dulls quickly

Oh my Lord, I beg of you, Forgive Me.

I know my eyes were dry when I should have been sobbing

I know my lip was stiff when it should have been quivering

Ya Ghafur, Ya Rahim

There is little left inside me

So I pray, Oh Allah, Guide Me

To the path of the righteous Mu'mineen

Let me battle this Nafs within me

So I may, for once, please you...

Ya Rabbi.
