Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

Lord to You I pray You are the only one worthy of praise

O my Lord I surrender to You
I entrust all of my affairs to You
I depend on You for Your blessings too
Both with hope and fear of You

There is no fleeing fleeing from You
There is no place of protection and safety but with You
I testify till the very day that I die
There is none to be worshipped but You the Most High

Lord to You I pray You are the only one worthy of praise

Oh Lord help me to remember You To thank You and to Worship You
I uphold my covenant as much as I can
Let me die in a state of Islam
My life my death is all for You
You are the only one Worthy of praise

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise




I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past
