How tranquil are the days,
When my heart connects to Your Words
In the cool breeze of Your remembrance
The ship of my soul is at sail
No fear of grief or loss
Can make it go under,
No words of hate or malice
From this world can plunder,
But then I drift away
And let the world enter,
It shreds the peace asunder
I go deaf in the thunder
My sail to this world I surrender….
But then Your Words beckon again,
As if sensing my pain,
Negligence, transgressions pardoned
Washed away with Your merciful rain
My soul starts sailing once more,
On pleasing You my vision trained
So much lost in the coup of this world,
Yet so much more to gain
If I did not have You my Lord
How would I even stay sane?
Surely I would break under the strain
This life would be in vain
But Alhamdulillah Your mercy reigns…
