Rubaiyaat i-iii

All Praise is for Allah

Who burdened me with pain

And bent my stiffened neck

Into sajda once again

The weight upon my shoulders

Pushed me closer to the floor

Facedown on the earth

I found refuge once more

***

All praise is to my Lord

Who permitted me to sin

I thank Him for repentance

And the love I found therein

– Abez
