The Passing Traveller

The Passing Traveller

The Passing Traveller

By Zain Bhikha

I wanna go where I’ll be happy
Gardens where rivers flow, eternally

I wanna go, see Allah’s promises
To those believers who walked His path

I’m but a stranger in a hostile world
And I cannot savour, this lie no more

Chorus:
يَا اللَّهُ  يَا رَّحْمٰنُ  يَا رَّحِيمُ  يَا مَلِكُ  يَا قُدُّوسُ  يَا سَلَامُ يَا اللَّهُ 
Guide me to Jannah

I wanna go be with Allah's beloved
Sit in his company, see him smile

I wanna go drink from the well of kawthar
The water for the Purest

Promised to Muḥammad (pbuh)
I’m but a traveller on a hot summer’s day

Resting under a tree, then went on my way
I wanna go see my mother and father

Embrace them in my arms, whisper I love you so
I wanna go see others I have lost

Hold them oh so close, say I missed you so
I came in this world, just passing through

And I wanna travel just like المُؤْمِنُ 

Chorus:
يَا عَزِيزُ  يَا جَبَّارُ  يَا خَالِقُ  يَا بَارِٸُ  يَا غَفَّارُ يَا قَهَّارُ يَا اللهُ 
Guide me to Jannah

I wanna go see our father Ādam
His blessed brothers, all of the prophets honored

I wanna go see the righteous companions
Those who the prophet loved, the best generation

I’m but a stranger in this hostile world
And I cannot savour, this lie no more

I wanna go finally be at peace
No worries, no old age

Blissful eternity
I wanna go see my palace in Jannah

Shining silk, silver, gold
So beautiful forever

I’m but a traveller taking rest for a while
Soon will come a time, I’ll have to say goodbye

Chorus:
يَا سَمِيْعُ يَا بَصِيْرُ يَا خَبِيْرُ يَا عَظِيْمُ يَا غَفُوْرُ يَا شَكُوْرُ يَا اللَّهُ 
Guide me to Jannah

I wanna go for the ultimate blessing
Be with الرَّحْمٰنُ

اللَّهُ السَّلَامُ
