Everyone has seen tragedies that are hard to forget
Things that could tear down mountains and are impossible to express
Allah suffices as protector of my noble soul
Before lamenting its trials, His wisdom it feels
We utter “It's for the best”, unaware of its secrets
Despite the force of my pain, I place my hope in the Healer
No matter what was, no matter what happens, and no matter what becomes of my life
My tears of grievance are lighter when shed for the sake of Allah
O Lord, if in this world I’m of those who tasted its bitterness
Then ease through contentment its troubles and miseries
O Lord, destine us for a life and death that please You
And if my world grows heavy “It's for the best” is enough
We utter “It's for the best”, unaware of its secrets
Despite the force of my pain, I place my hope in the Healer
No matter what was, no matter what happens, and no matter what becomes of my life
My tears of grievance are lighter when shed for the sake of Allah
We utter “It's for the best”, unaware of its secrets
Despite the force of my pain, I place my hope in the Healer
No matter what was, no matter what happens, and no matter what becomes of my life
My tears of grievance are lighter when shed for the sake of Allah
