(chorus)

I wish you were here here next to me

Im missing you so… so desperately
But lately I feel like you feel
and I see what I see how Im missing you..

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?

..(chorus)..

You used to inspire others with your way of thinking and speech

People came from afar just to hear us teach

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen, we feel secure because our mansions are locked

In my teen years salat really wasnt that tight

Now i gotta pray each one of them twice

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Brother we prefer light skinned women
while righteously maintain our deen against raicism (and tribalism)…

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
can you

..(chorus)..

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Kids in Africa starving cant afford to cry
I’ll pay the bank interest on a car I cant afford to buy

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
We used to smile at each other with faces full of light
Now we frown on each other, we bicker, and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying,
kids in the streets haitin
kids on the corner selling pot and in the mosque preaching…

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
The Quran has left our hearts - stranded hanging on our walls
6,232 verses so strong
9 out of 10 of us cant even read it or write
1924 seems distand like way before Christ

..(chorus)..


que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la grandesa conosida no la puedo ber
he bisto como mi figura cahe en tentation
al pesar que la vida ha esido buena con luce e ilusion
he bebido! perdon por mis pecados
tengo la cruce sobre mi cama
e il diablo a mi lado
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la bellesa conosida no la puedo ber
e sentido incompetentia buscando la verdad
todos disen conoserla solo beo la maldad
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la puressa conosida no la puedo ber

>> translation: <<

((what happened to the uma how can that be?
the greatness known once i can’t see it no more
i have seen my eyes falling in temptation
although life has given me light and ilussions
i have drinked!forgiveness for my sins
i have the cross on the wall over my bed
and the devil at my side
what happened to the uma how can that be?
the beauty i known i can’t see it no more
i have felt the incompetence in my way to truth
everybody pretends to know it, but all i see is evil
what happened to the uma how can that be?
the purity i known i can’t see it no more ))


If I was to fall on my knees and ask you to forgive everything and anyone out of love for the one… oh oh oh
I’ve seen..
And if you were to fall on your knees and ask me the same but I dont even think about it…,
lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance.

..(chorus).. X2

*****

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening (x2)


CHORUS:
Ya Mawlay, ya Mawlay Salli 'ala Taha (x2)
husnu Ahmadal Bashir
Akhjalal badral munir
Oh my Lord, Send your peace and blessings on Taha (one of the prophet's names)
The beauty of Ahmad the portent
Ashamed the illuminative full moon

Will I be from those
You welcome with a smile
As you call your nation
Come to my side

Or will I see you frown
And then turn away
I did let you down
I forgot this Day

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

CHORUS

Bridge:
Ya Habiba Allah
Ya Safiyya Allah
'Alayka Salatu Allah
Wa Salamu Allah
Oh you the one who Allah loves
Oh you the one who Allah chose
May Allah's peace and blessing be upon you

Your smile is so bright
It lits up the dark night
Brought mercy and light
To my waiting heart

I know that I’m weak
Of my sins I can’t speak
Your mercy I seek
Though I’m not worthy

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

Chorus

Lan nakhdha’
Lan narhal
Lan naskut
Lan nansa
We will never submit
We will never leave
We will never be silenced
We will never forget

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor
Don’t show your tears

CHORUS:
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you

Isam:
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say

For me in this path that I walk on
there's only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

CHORUS

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise

CHORUS

Lenny:
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust

Waqas:
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom

Isam:
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

CHORUS

La ilaha illa Allah
(There is no god but Allah)
He created the plants and trees
He created the birds and bees
He created the oceans and seas
Some of His many bounties
He made us on earth trustees
To obey all His decrees
Oh Allah have mercy please,
Clean away our hearts’ disease

Chorus
Jalla Allahu fi 'oulah
(Glorified is Allah in His loftiness)
Ma lana rabbun siwah

Mujrir rihi wal miyah
(He makes the wind and water surge)
Fadhat binnada yadah
(His blessings are overflowing)
Tuba lilladhi hadah
(Successful is he whom He guides)

Chorus
He gave the day and night
He gave us our sense sight
He created the sun so bright
And the moon so pure and white

He saved from our plight
He led us towards the light
He led us to the straight path
Through his mercy and his might

Chorus
Lord of the earth and the sky
Lord the mountains so high
Lord of the day and the night
Lord of joy and delight

Chorus

Hayya 'ibad Allah
(Come O servants of Allah)
Ahibba Allah
(O you who love Allah)
Sallu 'ala an-Nabi
(Send salutations to the Prophet)
On a clear and moonlit night
In the dark cave of Hira
A man began to cry
Oh Allah show me the light
Tell me why I was created
Where will I go after I die?
What’s the purpose of this life
Where people murder and lie?
How can I stop their corruption?
Oh Allah You’re my only Guide.
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa

O Intimate of Allah)
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
(You are the object of my love,
your remembrance are the only words I speak throughout my days)
On that clear and blessed night
Jibra'il came to Hira
He hugged Prophet Muhammad
Until he thought he would die
Read O Muhammad read
In the name of your Lord
By Allah you’ve been chosen
Over the whole of mankind
You’ve been elevated high
Like the moon up in the sky

Chorus
Ya Yasin Ya Khalil Allah
Ya Amin Ya Najiyya Allah
Ya Makin Ya Shahid Allah
Ya Mukhtar Ya Hafiyya Allah
Ya Taha Ya Habiba Allah
[All names of the Prophet (pbuh) ]

Chorus
He’s a mercy for mankind
His speech was gentle and kind
He summoned people to Allah
And led them on his path
Mankind lived in the darkness
Everyone alive was just blind
His message brought the light
To the hearts that had no sight
In mercy he’s the ocean
While others are drops of rain.
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Rasula Allah ya habiba Allah ya Safiyya Allah
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
Forever we’ll be indebted
To him for this Islam
Our life for him we’ll give
His message with us will live
Our love for him knows no bounds
It is loftier than the clouds
Whenever his name is mentioned
Our tears begin to flow
Oh Allah send your blessings
On al Mustafa
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Rasula Allah ya Habiba Allah ya Safiyya Allah
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Nabiyya Allah, ya Waliyya Allah, ya Khalil Allah

Allahumma salli 'ala,
Sayyidina,
Muhammadin an-Nabiyyi al-ummiyyi,
Wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.
(O Allah, send your peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the Unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions.)
O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They’re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.

My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way

My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way

CHORUS:
Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi

Let the Ummah rise again

Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi

Let the Ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again

Let’s become whole again
Proud again
’Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past

My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we strayed from him and his way

Look at where we were
And look at where we are
And tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no! Let us bring back our glory

CHORUS:
Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi

Let the Ummah rise again

Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi

Let the Ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again

Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me

Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you

You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you

Turkish:
Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim
Sensiz ana
Senin kadrini hic bilemedim ben
Aziz ana

Resul buyurdu;
Cennet analarin ayaklari altinda
Senin hayalin aklimda,
ruhumda, ruyalarimda

Sen gittiginde canim gitti,
Ayrilik bir yaman dertti,
Dunya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam

Aglarim ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin sarki gibi,
Gunahlarim derin derin
Hakkini helal et ana

To whom will I tell my sorrow
in your absence, mother?
I didn’t know your real value, my beloved mother

The Messenger (pbuh) said
“Paradise is under the mothers’ feet”
Your image is in my heart, my soul, and my dreams

When you left, my soul left
Our separation was painful
The world gave me pain
and sorrow my beloved mother

I cry like a cloud
You are like a song on my tongue
I’ve wronged you countless times
Forgive me mother

O people
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day


O people
Somewhere dark and out of the way
Aids has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do


For our brothers in Durban
For our sisters in Darfur
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?


You might ask yourself
Why should I help these people?
They’ll tell you why
We’re not so different from you
We have dreams just like you
But they were buried with the
bodies of our loved ones

O people
Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?


O people
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach what we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness


Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia
For our sisters in Rwanda
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?

Protect me and guide me
To your love and mercy
Ya Allah don’t deprive me

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu'allim...

Chorus
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.

While others ate he’d fast,

Truly you are our Teacher,

Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled
