Somehow, my life passed in such a way,

I remained heedless of Your worship all the time.

I kept turning my face away from Divine Commandments,

I kept putting the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) behind my back.

No sign of Faith and Islam remained within me,

I never cared to recite the Quran.

Day and night, I remained drowned in Your disobedience,

I never worried about the Hereafter.

I kept considering the world and its destructive pleasures as my everything,

I kept committing sin after sin.

I kept wandering and stumbling from door to door.

Then one day, the rain of Your grace poured down,

You made me Your own, and I presented myself before You.

I became deeply ashamed of my every mistake,

I felt remorseful for what I had done.

I kept bowing myself down before You,

And then You showered endless mercy upon a worthless being like me.

You overlooked my every fault,

You forgave my every shortcoming and slip.

You kept my every hideous deed hidden (Sattar-ul-Auyoub),

You fulfilled my every permissible desire.

In this manner, the rain of Your blessings poured down,

You became mine, and I became Yours.

I remained regretful for my deeds and grateful for Your blessings.

O Allah! All praise is due to You, a perpetual praise.

I seek forgiveness from Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence, and to Him I turn in repentance.
