By Your Mercy

Ya Rabbana , when You took away all that You gave me
I wept constantly and endlessly
When You gave me all the things my mind never imagined
I resigned myself to the hopes of poverty
I worried that if all my earthly needs were answered
In the Hereafter I may have nothing, I wondered
Through the plight of my worry and distress
My dilemmas never diminished
Each trial seemed hard
Each difficulty endless
I wondered if it would ever end
And when it did, another came
I realised life is not without difficulties and trials
If we are to get closer to You
I realised that I have no power over anything
Nor any might to do anything
Except by Your Will
In all dilemmas I surrendered all to You
In my quest for the soul path
I encountered You
Through all my tribulations
You never abandoned me
I left You and I was surrounded
By more mishaps and ill fortunes
More evils prevailed
An unending stream of lies and deceit
Till one day, as a shocking blow
I jarred awakened by Your reminders
Things I could never deny
Nor could I explain
The secrets between You and the seeker
You are the One
The Only to be worshipped 
And only by Your Mercy Ya Rabb
Only by Your Mercy Ya Rabb
Am I saved from drowning waves
