ينادي فؤادي

April 16, 2009

duaaa

 

ينادي فؤادي بليل السكون *** بدمع العيون برجع الصدى

لك الحمد إني حزين حزين *** وجرحي يلوّن درب المدى 

ولولا الهدى ، ربنا واليقين *** لضاعت زهور الجراح سدى

جراحي وماذا تكون الجراح *** أليست جراحي هدايا القدر 

إذا ما ارتضيت يطير الجناح *** يكحل بالنور عين القمر 

لك الحمد في الليل حتى الصباح *** لك الحمد في الصبح حتى السحر

جراحي ومالي جراح سوى *** ذنوبي فكيف اداوي الذنوب

To My Sisters :’)

March 12, 2009

It is not miraculous to create a 1000 friends in one year…It is miraculous to create one friend who will last for a 1000 years :)

To all of my sisters in Islam whom I have come to know, I love you all for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala!…
Especially you, daughter of pearls
Please listen till the very end…(especially you, daughter of pearls!)…

يارفيق الدرب إني أذكر الفضل وأثني 
My soul mate I remember your kindness and send you praise.
إنها لحظات شكرا وأمتنان لك مني
These are moments of gratitude for you..
كم حملت الهم عني عندما كلت يميني
for endless times you have held my back when I was down.
ولكم آزرتني في أمر دنياي وديني
and supported me in life matters as well in religion.
إنما يجنى الهدى من صحبت الخل الأميني من يسر في الروض يستنشق عبير الياسمين
be hold the faithful mate to gain the guidance
for who walks in the garden smells the fragrance of jasmine
يوزن المرء بمن صاحب وأختار وليا وأنا أخترتك فازدت رقيا ورقيا
one is known by whom he chooses
I chose you and become a better person
أنت لي نبع من الإخلاص يبقى أبديا لم أزل أحمد ربي أن لي خلا وفيا
an eternal steam of faithfulness you are
and I still praise Allah for such a true mate


هم أعجوبة الأزمان

February 7, 2009

يا قوم إن تتعجبوا … إني لمنهم أعجب

أعجوبة الأزمان هم … و استشهدوا من يكتب

أحببتهم يا قوم … في أخبارهم لي مذهب

بذلوا النفوس بعزة … لله نعم المطلب

تاريخهم عزة لنا … تاريخهم لا يكذب

I recently heard this nasheed on this blog and I loved it. 

The translation of it, for those who usually ask ;) is on the blog so please check it out!

To listen to the nasheed:  يا قوم إن تتعجبوا


Song for Gaza – Michael Heart

January 13, 2009

*disclaimer: has music*

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza) 
(Composed by Michael Heart) 
Copyright 2009 

A blinding flash of white light 
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight 
People running for cover 
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive 

They came with their tanks and their planes 
With ravaging fiery flames 
And nothing remains 
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze 

We will not go down 
In the night, without a fight 
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
But our spirit will never die 
We will not go down 
In Gaza tonight 

Women and children alike 
Murdered and massacred night after night 
While the so-called leaders of countries afar 
Debated on who’s wrong or right 

But their powerless words were in vain 
And the bombs fell down like acid rain 
But through the tears and the blood and the pain 
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze 

We will not go down 
In the night, without a fight 
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
But our spirit will never die 
We will not go down 
In Gaza tonight 



يا رفيق الدرب

December 30, 2008

حياتنا يا رفيق الدرب أسئلة من الدموع تشق الخد تسكابا 

أو قصة هربت منها نهايتها وأثقلت كاهل الصفحات أسبابا 

لغز عرفناه لكن لا يفسره إلا الذي في ظلام اللحد قد غابا 

ننقل الخطو ننسى أين غايتنا وفي سرى الليل نلقى الموت وثابا 

يعمق القبر في أرواحنا حفرا من الأنين ويبني الحزن سردابا 

كأننا ما ابتسمنا قط وارتسمت آمالنا كطيور الفجر أسرابا 

كأننا ما سكبنا بيننا لغة يظل شلالها في القلب منسابا 

وما التقطنا نجوم الليل وانتثرت بدربنا ترمق السارين إعجابا 

فانهار في لحظة مشوار رحلتنا كأنه من جبال الثلج قد ذابا 

قد ذاب ثلث ولكن في جوارحنا باقيه غاص مع الآمال أحقابا 

تساؤل ودموع العين هامية والقلب يخفق في الأضلاع وثابا


Stop! Rewind…

I’ve been meaning to write for a long time, but everytime I try, all the thoughts rush out all at once and I am left trying to make sense of loose ends…

And then I found it.


The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree..

I remember first listening to Yusuf Islam and falling in love with so many of his simple songs/nasheeds (whatever you wanna call them)..

Yoriyos (Muhammad Islam) is the son of Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens). His first album, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, was released earlier this year. 

The Lyrics to one of the songs in the album, “La Ilaha Illa Allah”:

Many dreams we share my brothers
Many tears we dare not share
The sand of our lives goes quickly blowing
To the heavens with our prayers
From the sea of time we travel
Each and every one who lives
May my journey end in grievin’
The shores in which my brothers rest
La ilaha illa Allah
Every day and every night
La ilaha illa Allah
To paradise these words take flight

More than sea can ease and riches
More than wanting is to give
We’re each a child to each other
So treat and teach your children well
From the mountains soon to crumble
From the skies so full of pain
The oceans to the stars they wonder
Why we find it hard to say
La ilaha illa Allah
Every day and every night
La ilaha illa Allah
To paradise these words take flight

La ilaha illa Allah
Every day and every night
To paradise these words take flight

*Note: if you youtube or google it, I believe it does have music, hence, I only posted the lyrics, which I thought were beautiful*
