They turn to me with hopeful eyes,
Believing I hold the answers wise.
From halls of knowledge to matters of gold,
From guiding the young to fulfilling the old.
A leader, they say, must always stand,
With strength unshaken, a steady hand.
No room for weakness, no time to break,
Yet how much more can this heart take?
The burdens rise, the days grow long,
The weight of right, the fear of wrong.
To solve, to lead, to forge the way,
Yet who will hear if I go astray?
But even the strongest seek a light,
A whisper of hope in the darkest night.
And though a leader must not fall,
I know my strength is not my all.
Ya Allah, my refuge, my guide,
In You alone my fears subside.
Let me lead with faith, not pride,
And trust in You, side by side.
For I am not meant to walk alone,
Nor bear this weight as if my own.
The path is Yours, the plan is true,
I lead the best when I trust in You.
