Prayer

In uncertain times, I start to pray
Gathering my cries, I start to pray

When my friends show their love. 
Looking towards the skies, I start to pray

Is it ever a surprise that before
 I start crafting lies, I start to pray 

A cry proclaims, that his promises are true
If ever he tries, I start to pray

A lender knocks my door every dawn
Covering my eyes, I start to pray

The renumeration of your love is beyond me
When you quote the price, I start to pray.

I count my sufferings whenever you come
But when the lamp dies, I start to pray

Our affairs are predestined, 'Mumtaz'
Without thinking twice, I start to pray
