Ya, Rabb.....

This restlessness come suddenly
Ya, Suddenly....restless feeling
Ya Rabbi,
We dont want You be far from us
Dont be far, ya Rabbi
Dont give us chances to be far from You.

But God...
Why sometimes we look for that chances,
Ya Jabbarr,
Why sometimes we dont understand each other...
Why sometimes we felt jealous and envious...
Why does the 'jahiliyah' character still there,
still in our heart

Ya Rabbul Jalaali wal ikram,
All the sigh, restlessness, and the reports,
just comfortable if we're with You
But why only sighs, why only reports,

Ya Tawwaab,
We're your servant that often forgot
We're so shy,...we should be able to fell,
this comfort, when we're not in restless feeling,
when we're not groaning...

Ya Ghafuur,
Forgive us, Your stupid servants,
Take a pity on us,
We're not able to make a stand from the devil's allure,
Moreover, we often drown in our passion.

Oh God,
Please give us power,
Dont torture us if we forgot
Give enough supplies for us,
so that we dont fall and get up in the great beyond

Ya 'Aliim,
Dont look at us with Your angry,
but look at us with Your love

Ya Rabb,
If it's not cause of Your love and affection,
We dont know what we will become

Dont mean this feeling as hopelessness,
ya Rabb, You more know than us
Forgive us, take a pity on us
Wa'fu'annaa, waghfirlanaa, warhamna
Anta maulana fanshurna 'alal qaumil kaafirin
Amien
