My Beloved O Allah
My Beloved
My peace, O my brothers and sisters, is my solitude,
And my Beloved is with me always,
For His love I can find no substitute,
And His love is the test for me among mortal beings,
Whenever His Beauty I may contemplate,
He is my "mihrab", towards Him is my "qiblah"
If I die of love, before completing satisfaction,
Alas, for my anxiety in the world, alas for my distress,
O Healer (of souls) the heart feeds upon its desire,
The striving after union with Thee has healed my soul,
O my Joy and my Life abidingly,
You were the source of my life and from Thee also came my ecstasy.
I have separated myself from all created beings,
My hope is for union with Thee, for that is the goal of my desire.

My Greatest Need is You
My Greatest Need is You
Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You --
O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You--
How can I endure the next world
Without seeing Your face?
I am a stranger in Your country
And lonely among Your worshippers:
This is the substance of my complaint.

All for You
All For You
My prayers, my breath, my life
and my death are all for You
None but You, only You, ya Allah
Every second I live
Every penny I give
Is just for You
Every breathe I breath
Every trace I leave
Is just for you
In all my fears
In all my tears
I’m callin’ You
In all my shame
In all my pain
I’m callin’ You
Through the night I pray
And I’m seeking your way
And it’s just for You
When I shed a tear
I know You’re near
And it’s just for You
Hayaty wa mawty
Wa ruhy wa dammi
Ilayka ya Rabbi
Anabtu ilayk
Laja’tu ilayk
Ya Allah
My life and my death
My soul and my blood
They’re all for you my Lord
I turn to You
I submit to You
My Lord
My prayers, my breath, my life
and my death are all for You
None but You, only You, ya Allah
Every second I live
Every penny I give
Is just for You

In all my tears
I’m callin’ You
In all my shame
In all my pain
I’m callin’ You
Through the night I pray
And I’m seeking your way
And it’s just for You
When I shed a tear
I know You’re near
And it’s just for You
Hayaty wa mawty
Wa ruhy wa dammi

Ya Allah
My life and my death
My soul and my blood
They’re all for you my Lord
