Aynal ummah?

Where is the ummah?

Rabbana unsurna

Qawwina wahhidna

Ilayka iltajana

Our Lord help us

Make us strong and united

In You we have sought refuge

My ummah, my ummah

He will say

Rasulullah on that day

Even though weve strayed from him and his way

My brothers, my sisters, in Islam

Lets 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

O Allah Lord of the WorldsO Merciful and Beneficent

O my Lord

Let the Ummah rise again

Let us see daylight again

Once again

Lets 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 hed want it to be?

Oh no! Let us bring back our glory

4/13

You, youre not aware

That were aware

Of your despairDont show your tears

To your oppressor

Dont show your tears

CHORUS:

Try not to cry little one

Youre not alone

Ill stand by you

Try not to cry little one

My heart is your stone

Ill 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 lands been the victim of countless

crimes

From Crusaders and Mongols

to the present aggression

Then the Franks, now even a crueller

oppressionIf 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, youre not aware

That were aware

Of your despair

Your nightmares will end

This I promise, I promise

CHORUS

Lenny:

No llores, no pierdas la feLa 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

Dont cry, dont lose faith

The one who made water come out of thesand

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 theyve been dry

Plus they see what they shouldnt from

oppressed babies to thighsI 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 Ill 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 turnedblind?

Or is it just cause its only affecting my

kind?!

If these walls could speak,

imagine what would they say

For me in this path that I walk on

theres only one way

Bullets may kill, bones may break

Still I throw stones like David before me

and I say

CHORUS


5/13

Dedicated to the innocent children of

Beslan

Every day I see the same headlines

Crimes committed in the name of the

divine

People committing atrocities in his name

They murder and kidnap with no shame

But did he teach hatred, violence, or

bloodshed? No... Oh No

He taught us about human brotherhood

And against prejudice he firmly stoodHe

loved children, their hands hed holdAnd taught his followers to respect the old

So would he allow the murder of an

innocent child? Oh No...

CHORUS:

Muhammad ya rasulallah

Muhammad ya habiballah

Muhammad ya khalilallah

Muhammad

Muhammad ya rasulallahMuhammad ya shafiallah

Muhammad ya bashirallah

Ya rasulallah

Muhammad the light of my eyes

About you they spread many lies

If only they came to realise

Bloodshed you despise

CHORUS


6/13

O people

In a hut made of tin and clay

A small boy dreams awayOf 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 couldnt pay

Tell me what were going to do

For our brothers in Durban

For our sisters in DarfurShow me what were 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?

Theyll tell you why

Were not so different from you

We have dreams just like you

But they were buried with thebodies of our loved ones

O people

Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?

What is going through our minds?

Dont we care for the rest of mankind?

O people

We claim to love peace and justice

Why do we preach what we dont

practice?

Lets help them out of this darkness

Tell me what were going to do

For our brothers in Ethiopia

For our sisters in Rwanda

Show me what were going to do

Are we just going to sit there?

Nice and cosy on our armchairs

Will we not even make a prayer?


7/13

Let us rejoice indeed

For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS:

La ilaha illallah

Muhammad rasulallah

La ilaha illallah

Muhammad rasulallah

Alayhi salatullah

Alayhi salatullah

Children are wearing new clothes

Bright colours fill the streets

Their faces full of laughterTheir pockets full of sweets



CHORUS

Mosques are full of worshippers

in rows straight and neat

Their Lord they remember, His name they

repeat

Their hands are raised to the skyThey supplicate and plead

On this blessed day

Forgive us they entreat



CHORUS

People are giving charity

And helping those in need

In giving theyre competing

Today there is no greed



CHORUS

Enemies embracing each other

All hatred is buried

Everyone is celebrating

Greeting everyone they meet




8/13

What goes through your mind?

As you sit there looking at me

Well I can tell from your looksThat you think Im so oppressed

But I dont need for you to liberate me

My head is not bare

And you cant see my covered hair

So you sit there and you stare

And you judge me with your glare

Youre sure Im in despair

But are you not aware

Under this scarf that I wear

I have feelings, and I do care

CHORUS:

So dont you see?

That Im truly free

This piece of scarf on me

I wear so proudly

To preserve my dignity...

My modesty

My integrity

So dont judge meOpen your eyes and see...

Why cant you just accept me? she says

Why cant I just be me? she says

Time and time again

You speak of democracy

Yet you rob me of my liberty

All I want is equality

Why cant you just let me be free?

For you I sing this song

My sister, may you always be strong

From you Ive learnt so much

How you suffer so much

Yet you forgive those who laugh at you

You walk with no fear

Through the insults you hear

Your wish so sincere

That theyd understand you

But before you walk away

This time you turn and say:

But dont you see?

That Im truly free

This piece of scarf on me

I wear so proudly

To preserve my dignity

My modesty

My integritySo let me be

She says with a smile

Im the one whos free

Ben derdimi kime syleyeyimSensiz 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

in your absence, mother?

I didnt know your real value, my beloved

Paradise is under the mothers feet

Your image is in my heart, my soul, andmy dreams

Our separation was painful

The world gave me pain

I cry like a cloud

You are like a song on my tongue

Ive wronged you countless times

Forgive me mother
