My Lord, how merciful you are to me, despite my ugly acts!
My Lord, how close you are to me, and how far I am from you!
My Lord, surely you know that even my obedience to you is not constant in action,
it is constant in love and intention (towards you).
Part of Dua Kumayl (Dua Kumayl was given to Kumayl from Imam Ali):
O He (Allah) who's name is remedy,
and whose remembrance (of Allah) is a cure,
an whose obedience (towards Allah) is wealth!
Have mercy upon him whose capital is hope
and who's only weapons is tears (for you)
and forgive those who own nothing but Dua (or Supplication).
Part of Dua Abu Hamza Thamali:
How can I attain goodness, O Lord, while it is not found except with You.
And how can I seek salvation while it can be granted by none but You?
Neither can the good-doer do without Your help and mercy,
nor can the sinful one who offended You (when sinning) and displeased You,
can escape from Your scope and power.
Part of Dua Abu Hamza Thamali:
So O' to whom I submit my utmost hope,
do not disappoint me when my tragedy has intensified,
and do not reject me due to my ignorance and conceit,
and do not deprive me (Your mercy) due to my lack of patience,
and provide for me for I am poor (in front of You),
and bestow Your mercy upon me for I am weak (in front of You).

So I am now lacking neither justification to apologize nor power to support myself.
By Which thing can I now meet you, O my Master?
