I am s Muslim but only by name

when it comes to practicing, what a shame!

i go to friends and relatives in suit and tie

it's all right if i occasionally lie.

yes i practice but when it suits me

more to the point ,when it pleases the society.

if i show my anckles, they'll point and laugh

they'll think it's too short and reckon i'm daft.

if i trim my moustache and grow the beard

the'll reckon i'm a fanatic or something weird.

if i wear the Sunnah i'll get great reward

but the kuffar will look down on me,

that i can't afford.

yes i'm a Muslim but only by name,

i make excuses, which i admit are rather lame.

yes i'm a sane man and i'm on the right track

who am i kidding, i feel like a right jack!

The best thing is no one can hear what's

going on inside

people think i've got it made and with my life

i'm satisfied.

But i'm afraid this is a fable and it's pure

deception i have no peace of mind

but this i daren't even mention.

if i remain ignorant it's OK cos then i don't

have to practice yes i'm convincing and these

are baseless evil tactics.

But i read teh kalimah and i think i have imaan

i can't help my attitude i was placed in a

Kufrastaan.

yes i'm a Muslim but only by name and with my

precious life i'm playing a foolish disastrous

game.

My sins block my dua'a

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face
It is not salt, but pain that I taste

So I leave now to go stand before You
I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a
I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask
For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

I try and I try but I do not succeed
But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey
Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way

I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see
No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but me

So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can
You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman

I will ask, I will beg but my sins my block my du'a
But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah
