A Prayer [English vers. of Do'a by Chairil Anwar)

A Prayer

By: Chairil Anwar

To the Almighty

Oh My Lord

Drowned in deep thought

I still remain to call your name

Though it is really hard

To have you entirely in mind

Your light burning and pure

Like a flickering candle in the dark silence

Oh, My Lord

I lost the light

Sink with the gloom

Oh My Lord

I wander far away from You

Oh My Lord

I knock your door

Find a way back to reach You
