I wish to gratefully proclaim
To my friends and foes
The tons of blessings
Blessed He in open and secret.

Alhamdulillah:
The only magical mantra
I chant day and night
In my ungrateful life.

Yet, to ask Him
For more and more
And even more
I never shy but cry.

I submit before Him
My whims and fancies
Dreams and fantasies
Hopes and goals.

Immodest: my ambitions
Incredible: my aspirations.

To build a thousand Taj
For my beloved
To be crowned the king
Enthroned with poetic glory.

Lord forgive my insane mind,
Lord absolve from the hell-kind.
