Forgive My Sins



o gracious omnipotent Lord -
                            Forgive my sins
o merciful omniscient Lord -
                            Forgive my sins

Should you not reveal your Grace
                            My Will will die within me
Error will overflow its bounds
                            Forgive my sins

My soul of a hundred sorrows
                            Begs your mercy
Gaze down from your great height, 0 Lord -
                            Forgive my sins

Though I sank in the mire of shame
                            Elevate me from my sins, 0 far-seeing Lord
With your grace, 0 all-forgiving One
                            Forgive my sins

Manifest your greatness
                            By laying my heart to rest
By making your favour shine upon me
                            Forgive my sins

Thy majesty flees one's imagination
                            One can but marvel at Thy diversity
But in response to Thy oneness
                            Forgive my sins
Any creature that on earth may dwell
                            Who discovers Thy powers of Creation
For the sake of Thy three thousand names
                            Forgive my sins

For we are poor ummah supplicants
                            The ummah of Muhammad
Out of respect for the Praised One
                            Forgive my sins

Your creation is delectable
                            To the palate of the Praised One
For the ransom of Heaven and Earth
                            Forgive my sins

For the great gifts of the generous
                            For the blood of martyrs
For the life of everything that lives
                            Forgive my sins

With reverence to the stars in Heaven
                            Reverence to Nawrooz on Earth
Reverence to day and darkest night
                            Forgive my sins

For the magnificence of high mountains
                            And the lure of landscapes
For the delights of deserts and waters
                            Forgive my sins

If there comes no sign from you
                            Disaster will descend upon me
Thy Feraghy says, "O Lord
                            Forgive my sins".
