Islamic Poetry

We Seek Refuge In Allah, by anonymous



I seek refuge in you O Allah!
From eyes that are not restrained
and from a tongue that is not tamed


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From a heart that is complacent
and from a mood that is not patient


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From a soul that is not grateful
and from a thought that is not lawful


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From a limb that is not humbled
and from conviction that begins to stumble


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From hoarding every pence
and slowness in obedience


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From love of material life
and from ignorance of Eternal life


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From the trials of life and death
and from the punishment of the grave


I seek refuge in You O Allah!
From the trials of Ad-Dajjal
and from the torment of the blaze


Grant me wisdom, O Most High!
And understanding and strength


Grant me fortitude, O Magnificent!
And humility to repent


Grant me light, O Most Merciful!
To penetrate my heart


Grant me your Love O Creator!
For the Greatest Thou art.
