O Rabb, another nite is a passing away ....


O God, Another Night is passing away,
Another Day is rising
Tell me that I have spent the Night well so I can be at peace,
Or that I have wasted it, so I can mourn for what is lost.

I swear that ever since the first day You brought me back to life,
The day You became my Friend,
I have not slept --
And even if You drive me from your door,

I swear again that we will never be separated.
Because You are alive in my heart.

(Taken from Rabi'a Al Adawiyah, a Sufi)
