Confession

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
