Al-Malik
This kingdom of Hearts
In reality is the kingdom of Heaven
Why is everything falling apart?
The Heart-king imprisoned by seven
Limbs gone rogue
Reflections of reality
Society in vogue
Drown in crass materiality
City cast in black and red
Our actions, intentions fade
Ya Malikal Mulk
O King of Kings
The King of the Day of Judgement
This self is in need of You
Of Your Grace
Assist me
To cleanse
My inner city
From all evil and dirt
Strengthen my advisors
To hold me back
To keep in heart
Your Laws and Your Commands
To order my soldiers
To keep peace
Between my people
Allow my heart
To take its place
Allow my heart
To be the Throne
For You
Ya Malik
May our Hearts
Reflect the Heavens
Such that the world
Around us also
Reflects that Divine order
Of stars, suns, moons, planets
Galaxies, universes
Alhamdulillahi
Rabbil 'Alamin
All Praise Belongs to Allah
The Possessor of everything other than You
Amin
