Mother(c) Sami Yusuf
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 realized it
And now it's too late
Forgive me
[CHORUS begin]
Now I am 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 am lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who is gonna wipe my tears away
If only I knew what i know today
Mother, I am lost without you
Ummaahu, Ummaahu, Ya ummi
Wal shauqaahu
Ya nuqya khii .. yaa ummi
A....
Ummuka ummuka, ummuka ummuka
Qaulu rasoolika
A....
Fi qalbi fil hulumi
anti maaei yaa ummi
Ruhti wa tarakti
Ya nuur a aini yaa
Yaa um salaimi yaa
Ruhti, wa tarakti ni
Man siwaaki yah zulumi
Man siwaki ya suluni
Man siwaki yah rusuli
afwati ummi

My Song: No Where To Hide
No Where To Hide(c) 2006 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan
Sometimes I cry
There's no where to hide
I used to smile
It's been a while
And when I died
I could not lie
No reasons why
Nothing that I
Could say, could do,
To change, what I once chose to do
I wish I could see
All the misery
And all the fallacy
Of my tyranny
I wish I could be
Kind, with humility
Throw the cloak of "me"
Serve humanity
But it's too late
'Cause when I died
I realized
I had made my choice
And now I lie, in the earth,
So ashamed, so alone inside
And when I died
I could not lie
No reasons why
Nothing that I
Could say, could do,
To change, what I once chose to do
I wish I were a fly
I failed myself and my soul
I wish I didn't die
I could go back and change my fate
I wish I could be let go
Even though I didn't try
I wish I listened to my soul
When I lived, I was preoccupied
Now I lie, in wait,
For the ruling, to see my fate
Oh dear Lord, I have wronged myself
I never ever lived, I just survived
And when I died
I could not lie
No reasons why
Nothing that I
Could say, could do,
To change, what I once chose to do
I wish I could be let go
Even though I didn't try
I wish I listened to my soul
When I lived, I was preoccupied
But it's too late
'Cause when I died
I realized
I had made my choice
And now I lie, in the earth,
So ashamed, so alone inside
