Doa Dari Seorang Ibu

DU’A FROM UMMI
Oh Allah,
for my children
I would pray
That they may seek
Thee every dayThrough life,
with all its storms and stressIts sorrows,
grief and bitterness.
In disappointments fly to TheeFor comfort,
strength and sympathy.
And never find a truer friend,
But love and serve
Thee to the end.
That they may take
Thee as their Guide,
To lead them all the way beside;
Their Counsellor when troubled o'er
The many problems at youth's door.
If overwhelmed by dark despair,
Oh teach them how through faith and prayer
To crush this subtle devil's snareAnd rest within
Thy loving care.
For them no dizzy heights of fameI crave,
nor great and worldly gain,
In humble service let them aim
To spread the honor of Thy name.
That in this dark world may they shine
Their lives reflect Love DivineTheir object now their pleasure then,
Obedience to Thy will.
Amin ya Rabb al-‘Aalameen
