12.3.26

 Allah, please give me a little bit of wisdom from your wisdom,

a share of the water from your seas, a piece of the sky

from your spaces. Give me as much as I can hold of grace 

from your grace, honesty from your truth, bravery

from your power. Extend to me your pardon

for the property I've stolen from your ownership,

the deed to my heart is yours, the wealth

in which I graze belongs not to me

and for this, a small dua, in this 

empty hand I hold.
