What did I do today?

Oh the moon has come, the day is done,
the night has covered up the sun,
I have stood so often before you to pray,
but I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
 
Did I remember the words of Al-Fatihah?
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?
Did I call on you to guide my way?
Tell me what did I do today?

 

I have whispered to you as I made Ruku'
Subhana Rabey'yal Adheem.
But was my faith bright or grey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
 
Did I smile at my brother?
Was I kind to my Mother?
Did I teach another something that I know?
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me what did I do today?

 

Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.

Lailahaillallah..
Lailahaillallah..
Lailahaillallah..
 

Though I've bowed to you with my face in the dust,
Subhana Raby'yal a`la.
Did I turn to you and did I obey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
 
Did I use my time?
Did I use my mind?
If I search my heart what will I find?
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,
Tell me, what did I do today?
 
Oh Allah, 
What did I do today?
What did I do today? 

-Dawud Wharnsby Ali
