Thank for Allah’s Beneficence (Urdu Poem)

O Allah, Maker of things, Concealer of faults, All-
Powerful;
O my Dear, my Benefactor, my Sustainer!
How should I thank You, O Bestower of Great
Favours?
Where can I find the tongue to express my gratitude?
It is entirely Your grace and favour that You have
chosen me;
Otherwise, there was no shortage of humble servants in
Your court.
Those who vowed friendship turned into enemies;
But You did not abandon me, O Fulfiller of all my
needs.
O my Unique Friend, O Refuge of my life,
You alone are sufficient for me; I can’t do anything
without You.

But for Your grace, I would have long been reduced to
dust;
Then Allah knows where this dust would have
scattered.
May my heart and soul and very being be sacrificed in
Your way!
I know of none who loves like You;
Since the beginning, I have been brought up under the
blessed shadow of Your protection;
Like a suckling was I nursed by You.
In no son of man have I found the fidelity that You
have;
Nor have I come across, apart from You, any
compassionate friend.
People say that the unworthy are not accepted;
But despite being unworthy, I have been granted
acceptance in Your court.
So numerous are Your favours and bounties bestowed
upon me;
They will remain uncountable to the Day of Judgement.
