When the clock ticks and tocks,
When my breath turns erratic,
When my sorrows reach the brink to spill,
When my eye rolls back to see nothing,
When distress blinds my heart,
When sins exceed my good deeds,
When my heart feels too heavy to carry,
When my life seems too bleak to understand,
When the love of my life turns the back on my face,
When I realize that some sweetened words are bitter than venom,
When bloodshed presses me to forget it all,
When my limbs are too lazy to bow,
Ya rabb, I ask you all the strength I need to overcome it all.
And I seek forgiveness by all means. And I express my gratitude from a part of my heart that I do not know.
Today I submit my heart clothed with my misery,
beating just because You had Willed, to You Alone.
Because ya Rabb, I can't do this alone. I can't breathe if You hadn't willed. While everything seems dark, I know You are the only Light.
When I reduce to dust, I know Your Promise of bringing me back One day is true.
When my ship sinks deep into the water, I know only by Your Will,
I would either swim back to the shore,
or drown deep down in the ocean of misery.
You are the First and the Last, if I hadn't known you, I have failed in it all.
And if I had known You but not of this world,
then victory indeed is what my heart would feel.
