I wake with the light of the dawn whispering With joy in my heart and with praise on my lips In stillness and twilight I stand before you Bowing, prostrating I call Allahu
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn’s golden hues My ears hear the thunder as it glorifies you The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise
My soul knew and loved you before I was born And without your mercy is lost and forlorn Wherever I may wander down the pathways of life My cry to you, oh my Lord, is ‘guide me to light’
Through all fear and helplessness, to you do I turn For your breath of healing and peace do I yearn For all that I have, my Lord, all that I am Is from You, is for You and to You will return
Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum
