I am late, Your Mercy so early

I am wrong
You are right

I am always late
Your mercy so early

I am all evil
You are but good

I am always forgetful
You never abandon

I am ashamed
Your Honor dignifies

I am the dark night
Your light showed the way

I was a barren rock
Your love made me a garden

I had no goal or means
You gave me both

I didn’t know to write
You became my pen and book

O the One
I call Allah
You are more dearer
Than I fear
