…It is by faith I worship Thee
a faith You confirmed by revealing Your path to me.
Many a day You heard my groans and moans
Never did You leave before You showed me I had a home.
The thought of You brings a sense of completion
for I am like a newborn child in my mother’s hand
looking at Your works makes me proclaim
That Thee oh Thee deserve The beautiful names
oh the sustainer of the beautiful heavens
Who created them perfect and made them in number complete seven
where can I go but where Thou leadest
given Your knowledge I’ll strive to make it manifest by doing
my best.
Verily You hear The silent one’s cry.
For You give life and You cause to die
Jannah is the motive of all my ambitions.
Never will it change no matter my condition.
grant to my knowledge the wisdom of your being
for You are one and only one without anyone else
Your being seeing.
-Umar (Year One)
