I’m playing outta position, I feel like I’m missing
The whole point of this game
I’m tired of consuming, this daily illusion
It’s gonna drive me insane
But once in a while the veil gets lifted
And I see the other side
Aint no ticket tape parade waiting by the gate
Unless I work on the inside

Chorus:
We’re so caught up in our homes, our lives, our things
Magazines and television closing all the lids
There’s a whole world out there
Work to be done
C’mon everybody, Come on, Come on
C’mon everybody, Come on, Come on

My family is waiting, but my time is taken
With so many things in my life
So inconsequential, technological ventures
Distractions that mess with my mind
But once in a while I try to resist
O everything coming my way
Gives a feeling inside, makes me realize
I get down on my knees and pray

Chorus
Bridge:
Lord, Oh Lord
You are Peace, with You is Peace
Oh My Lord, Help me raise my eyes to the sky

He sent us His Beloved to show us
Ways of contentment and goodness
So that we may live our lives to our fullness
With joy and happiness

Celebrate ALLAH’s endless favours
Celebrate ALLAH’s never ending Mercy
Oh Oh ALLAH’s endless favours
Oh Oh ALLAH’s never ending Mercy

With food of all types we eat and live
Our greatest thanks we must give
Friends and family, our health

He gave us abundance of wealth
We read, we see, all we know
Thinking of Him makes our hearts glow
To remember Him our greatest treasure
All we seek is His pleasure

All that His Beloved Nabi taught
Endless happiness they brought
His teachings simple and pure
Easy to follow and adore
All you have to do is trust and submit
Keep following and don’t resist
Blessings surround and cover you
Angels assist you through and through

Allah gave us life to worship Him
To seek eternal blessings
He wants us to be full of happiness
Not to chase dunya and darkness
Showing us ways back to Him
To eternity and bliss

Hayya ‘ala-salatt, Hayya ‘alas-salāt…..

Suno aie momino, chalo namaz parhein
Suno aie momino, chalo namaz parhein.

Namaz husn e bandgi, namaz to namaz hai
Namaz husn e bandagi, namaz to namaz hai
Khuda ki iss mein hai khushi, namaz to namaz hai.

Namaz say yeh mat kaho, mujhay bohat say kaam hain
Namaz say yeh maat kaho, mujhe buhat say kam hain
Kaho to kaam say yehi, namaz to namaz hai.

Mosibatain na bandishain na rizk ki rukawatein
Mosibatein na bandishein na rizq ki rokawatein
Hai mushkaloon ka hal yehi, namaz to namaz hai.

Tu parh namaz qabl ke teri aada namaz ho
Tu parh namaz qabl kay teri aada namaz ho
Guzar na jaye yeh zindagi, namaz to namaz hai.

Namaz e panjgana tum parho ujagr e hazeen
Namaz e panjgana tum parho ujagr e hazeen
Karo youn Rab ki bandgi, namaz to namaz hai

Suno aie momino, chalo namaz parhein
Suno aie momino, chalo namaz parhein.

Nasheed Information:

Singer: Owais Raza Qadri

Actions are judged by their intentions
And every man shall be judged accordingly
And whatever you keep inside your heart
It can not be hidden from Him

Earn your living in a lawful way be mindful of what you say
Be sincere when you pray today could be your last day
Bear each other no malice greed and faith can’t co-exist in the same heart

Oh Lord only You can change our hearts
We call upon You to do so
So that we may submit to You
Oh Lord only You can change our hearts

The world we live in today can be so cold
And a man’s heart can be as hard as stone
What will it take for us to make love conquer hate
When will we learn from our mistakes

Earn your living in a lawful way be mindful of what you say
Be sincere when you pray today could be your last day
Bear each other no malice greed and faith can’t co-exist in the same heart

Oh Lord only you can change our hearts
We call upon You to do so
So that we may submit to You
Oh Lord only You can change our hearts

Envy jealousy falsehood hypocrisy greed and dishonesty
Remove them Lord remove them from our hearts

Self control gentleness modesty humbleness sincerity truthfulness
Place them in our hearts

Loyalty faithfulness generosity and kindness Trust and honesty
Place them in our hearts

Oh Lord only You can change our hearts
We call upon You to do so
So that we may submit to You
Oh Lord only You can change our hearts

Far across the ocean’s and the sea’s
You’re the hope that I seek
It’s your air that I breathe

Think of the suffering?
Think of the pain?
Think of the children of the world?

I feel the rain drops on my face
I feel a want to call your name
I feel the suffering is insane
Oh Allah, tell me now who’s to blame?

I saw an orphan child

He looked in denial
Mother, mother
Where have you gone?

I feel the rain drops on my face
I feel a want to call your name
I feel the suffering is insane
Oh Allah tell me now who’s to blame

Nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to hide
Oh Allah show me the light

I feel the rain drops on my face
I feel a want to call your name
I feel the suffering is insane
Oh Allah tell me now who’s to blame

One day, some time
This world, will be free

Far across the ocean’s and the sea’s
You’re the hope that I seek
You’re the air that I breathe

Think of the suffering?
Think of the pain?
Think of the children of the world?

There’s not a mother in this world who would watch her child,
Cry in the street stand and watch her weep
There’s not a mother in this world who wouldn’t give
Up her own life for the life of her child
There’s not a mother in this world who wouldn’t be
Happy to have a home for her family
Where are your homes where are your families
What will you eat today where will you sleep

Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace
For the children of war
Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer
For the children of war

Is there a father in this world who would not
Try to provide for his children and his wife
Is there a father in this world who would want to be
Locked up in a cell away from his family
Is there a father in this world who would not defend
Justice and rights till the very end
Where are your jobs where is security
Where is freedom when will you all be free

Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace
For the children of war
Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer
For the children of war

There’s not a child in this world who should have to grow up
Living in fear drowning in despair
No child in this world should be deprived of an education
And every child in this world would want to play
In a safe community having fun running free
We pray for you children Lord ease their pain
And give them strength to go on day by day

Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace
For the children of war
Oh people of the world
Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer
For the children of war

Countless voices cry in mourning weeping with grief and pain
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

1
On Ashura the family of Husayn caused the earth to shake x2
It heard the swords clash across the field, cries of Al-Atash
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…

2
Battle over, all the men had gone, no one there to defend x2
The veils were snatched, jewellery pulled from ears, Sakina’s cry so pure
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…

3
Paraded through the streets and markets to Kufa and Shaam x2
Oh people did you not know them, they are of Rasool
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…

4
The court in Shaam, the palace of Yazid, tied in chains in pain x2
Zainab stood defending Islam for us all, so brave
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…

5
The tragedy of the martyrs will live in our hearts x2
The lessons from those in Karbala, examples for us all
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…

6
So now we stand grieving and mourning to show you Zainab x2
The sacrifice of Imam Husayn, we will never forget
Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab

Countless voices…
