In the assembly/ mehfil of the world, I do not find human beings
In the playgrounds for children, I do not find Innocence,
What has happened to this world, O God
Why does ‘sahil’ not find lamps that are lit
(Why all in Darkness.)

Everywhere there’s darkness, O Lord, please see
What did you bless Man with and see how he has destroyed all,
Your creation, this Man, has sown seeds of ruin and devastation
And, spread hatred and animosity everywhere, not Love.

Will you, O Almighty, still only watch, not do anything
Will you let Man destroy himself and just, silently, stand by,
This world is mortal, not eternal, that we know well
But, surely, we do not wish to end it Tomorrow,
Man will, surely, pay for his Sins, Your Wrath we know.

Save Man, O God, save the one you created
The one, this Man, who dreams of being God himself,
The signs of Satan, the Devil are all around
Will You, the Supreme One, let Man suffer like this
Because of his own foolishness, his arrogance and evil
The one who has forgotten, You.
 
Please, O Creator, help us reign in our greed
Please show us the road, the path, we must follow,
He is not really bad, this Man you blessed Save him ,
O Lord, from the Roads of Evil that he now takes.

Amen.
