I Cry

-- Alton "Bomani" Taylor --

I cry,
I cry out loud but not in pain,
I cry ayats out of love,
For Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful is His name.

I cry out loud unto my Lord asking His forgiveness,
Seeking His protection and for glorifying His name.
Faith has entered my heart as Islam resides within my brain.
No longer trapped in disbelief, No more living the Shaytan's game.

I cry,
I cry out loud the call to prayer Qad qama-tis-salah,
Qad qama-tis-salah, Muslims hear from far and near,
The beauty of the Adhan testifying within their ears.

I cry,
I cry out unto my Lord each and every time I pray five times a day,
Praying not to bring about His wrath,
Praying for protection from going astray.

I cry out loud,
La ilaaha il-lallah Muhammadar-Rasulullah.
Upon the world....this call I cry,
So world hear me cry this call out loud.
Unto my Lord I cry,
For Islam I cry out loud.
