Now I see The truth in me A never-ending greed Blinded by my own deeds So true what to say We know but we play But today I will say
If you turn me away To who else can I pray
Your signs awake me From my sleep Your tests of pain That go so deep But without your light I couldn’t realize How far I had strayed My blackened heart With a thousand marks So blind to your ways
If you turn me away To who else can I pray
‘Chorus’
Ya Mawlana Ya KArim Ya GHafiradh-dhambi Ya Rahim “Oh my Lord, Oh Generous one! Oh forgiver of sin, Oh Most Merciful One!”
Dallalat-nid-durubu Wal-ana-a’ud “Roads of life have lead me astray And now I come back”
Askarat-nidh-dhunubu Wal-ana atub “Sins have made me blind And now I turn to you in regret”
Ji’tuka ta’iba La taruddani Kha’iba “I have come to you seeking forgiveness Don’t send me away saddened”
