Step upon the path, let go of fear.
Strive with your soul, in day and night,

His mercy flows, near and far.
With every step, trust in His decree,
Allah’s plan unfolds, eternally.

Face every trial, for Allah is there.
The nafs may fight, with whispers and doubt,
But hold to the rope, let love pour out.

His mercy flows, near and far.
With every step, trust in His decree,
Allah’s plan unfolds, eternally.

The King of all kings, the ultimate Star.

For Allah’s with you, always there.
