Ya Habibi

By Junaid Jamshed

Habibi, Rasuli, Habibi, Rasuli
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli

Hear me a while, glimpse for a while
How have we come to be here?
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli

Who is there to lead us? weak in faith and feeble
We are all enamored in worldly desires
Ever more in number, in discord and slumber
Abandoned what to do, who are we?

Hear me a while, glimpse for a while
How have we come to be here?
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli
Habibi, Rasuli, Habibi, Rasuli

You’re true followers, strove head high
They shone like the stars in virgin sky
They played with their lives
Made widows of their wives
Only the true have the will to survive

Hear me a while, glimpse for a while
How have we come to be here?
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli
Habibi, Rasuli, Habibi, Rasuli

My heart heaves a sigh, but hopeful am I
You as the Prophet and Allah so high
I scan the horizon, to shores of redemption
My heart yearns for your cherished ways

Hear me a while, glimpse for a while
How have we come to be here?
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli
Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli, Ya Habibi, Ya Rasuli
