A Letter to You, Ya Allah

Ya Allah, this heart is Yours,

Every beat, it bows, it adores.

I write these lines with trembling hands,

Longing to follow Your command.

But sometimes I’m lost in this busy life,

Chasing the world, forgetting the light.

This is my letter, written in prayer,

Every tear a word, every breath sincere.

Ya Allah, my refuge, my guiding light,

Forgive me when I turn away from what’s right.

I confess I’ve wandered far,

Blinded by this dunya’s stars.

But Your mercy pulls me near,

Your voice reminds me, “I am here.”

Though I forget, You never let go,

Your love surrounds what my soul should know.

This is my letter, written in prayer,

Every tear a word, every breath sincere.

Ya Allah, my refuge, my guiding light,

Forgive me when I turn away from what’s right.

Ya Rahman, You calm my fears,

Ya Wadud, You dry my tears.

Every trial, every fall,

Leads me closer to Your call.

I’m weak, but in You I stand tall,

Your mercy is greater than all.

This is my letter, written in prayer,

Every tear a word, every breath sincere.

Ya Allah, my refuge, my guiding light,

Hold me close through the day, through the night.

If I forget, remind me again,

Your love is endless, it has no end.

From this dunya, lift my gaze,

To Your eternal, boundless grace.

This is my letter, written in prayer,

Every tear a word, every breath sincere.

Ya Allah, my refuge, my guiding light,

Forever I’m Yours, forever in Your sight.
