My Prayer

So many You have chosen for Yourself.
Unveiled You have appeared to many of them.
And I, mislead by preacher, kin, and well wishers
falsely believed I have been blessed.

But You alone, O You Master of Disguise.
You know well that my blessings are but a Veil,
Behind which You hide, O Sublte One.
You hide behind noble desires,
You hide behind the wish for a healthy life,
a pious life, a secure life, a complete life.

O Lord of Mercy, O Lord of Compassion
Choose me for Your chosen ones.
Choose me for Yourself. Unveil, unveil.

-Khaadim
