O Allah I Love You


Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word

My choicest hours are the hours I spend with You

O Allah, I can’t live in this world without remembering You
How can I endure the next world without seeing Your face?

I am a stranger in Your country and lonely among Your worshippers

This is the substance of my complaint.

Sayyidah Rabi’a al-’Adawiyyah 
(may Allah be pleased with her and elevate her rank)
