.:A time for repentance:.

Tomorrow is but a dream,
Will the sun rise again?
For everything is finite,
and everything will end.

This beautiful world around us
enthralls our heart and soul,
yet it will all be destroyed,
as surely as the young grow old.
Exquisite indeed is His work,
though He deems it to be temporary
For everything must fade,
in the Glory of Allah,
The Lord of Majesty and Bounty.

Ya Allah,
Will I live to see the next day?
Will I live to see another Ramadhan?
Have I repented for my sins?
Have I done enough
to earn Your forgiveness
to earn Your love?

O Lord,
Accept my longing for You,
and let me love You,
even if only as a fraction
of how You love me too.
