chorus Allahuma ârzuqna murafaqat al-auliya Waâj`al lana waliyyan murshida
I’m calling out your name Oh hear me, guiding friend
Life was so deluding In darkness I was drowning There came a light so bright Illuminated life.
Since first I saw your beauty Your serenity and mercy My heart has overflowed With thanks to Allah
For all the love you gave me And the wisdom that you taught me And the kindness in your eyes Gift of life
Allahuma ârzuqna murafaqat al-auliya Waâj`al lana waliyyan murshida
You gave me the gift of life The yearning for paradise The secret of how to love Allah
My heart in deepest wonder Unfolds a mystery
The secret of existence A life of love and giving To strive and sacrifice To guide the lost to light
Like the moonlight on the water Like the sun of the mid-morning Like the star-strewn field of heaven You shine and guide
Like a mirror-glass, reflecting In your soul shines the perfection Of the chosen and beloved Mustafa.
Allahuma ârzuqna murafaqat al-auliya Waâj`al lana waliyyan murshida
Waffiq-na waâ’hdina tariqat al-muqaddasa Tahdi ila jannatin wa ridaâ’ik.
You gave me the gift of life The yearning for paradise The secret of how to love Allah And my heart soars in gratitude And prayer that Allah give to you The shelter of his mercy and his peace. Gift of Life.
