Once I Turn

When all hope is lost,
And the storm strikes,
When the winds howl with fury,
And the waves crash against the rocky shore,

When darkness surrounds,
And the world becomes silent,
When everything comes to a standstill -

I turn.

Turn towards As-Sami,
The one who hears my hearts plea,

I turn towards Al-Basir;
The one who can see the dripping tears from my eyes,

I turn to Ar-Raheem;
The ones whose Mercy encompasses everything,

I turn.

I turn to the one and only Lord,
The Magnificent; possessor of beauty,
Of greatness, strength and sovereignty.

I turn.

Away from the problems haunting my mind,
The worries deep within - the sorrow and grief,
From the struggle and tests, the pain, the hurt, the scars and the agony.

And when I turn..

My heart fills with peace, serenity ad tranquility.
My eyes become dry,
Hope is regained,
As I share my problems,
To the one who is worthy of Praise!
The creator of me, you and everything,
How the impossible is made easy,
And morning follows the darkness;

Once I turn;

To The Lord of the Worlds.
