a poet by abu nuwwas

My sins, if I think about them, are many

But the mercy of my Lord is much vaster

I do not hope for salvation in any good action I may have done

Rather in Allah's mercy is my hope

He is Allah my Lord who is my Creator

And I am [in front of Him] a slave who obeys and submits

If forgiveness is intended for me then that is mercy

And if it is other than it then what am I to do?
