Oh Ali what has now happened, where are you my father? x2
I am the daughter of Ali, and my name is Zainab x2

1
Oh father you had told me when I was younger
There would come a time when we would arrive in Karbala
A caravan so full with brothers, nephews and your sons
But how it would be massacred and be so empty
I never thought that this could be so, where would my Abbas be? x2
Oh Ali what has now happened…

2
The tortures that I’ve faced the insults that have been thrown
They snatched away my veil father, my hair was shown
How much will we have to suffer and go on in pain?
Oh ummah do you not remember we are Ahlul Bayt
That adhaan you hear now Yazid, talks about my grandfather x2
Oh Ali what has now happened…

3
When Hind came down into the cells to see the commotion
She came to find the reasons for our sufferings and our plight
Oh prisoners what have you done to deserve this treatment
Then she remembered that she had seen, my face before
Oh Lady Zainab it can’t be, are my eyes deceiving me x2
Oh Ali what has now happened…

4
In Sham the tyrant Yazid was celebrating
Raising his brows he taunted and paraded us around
He said: “Throw Fizza aside so I can see Zainab”
But Fizza boldly said to him, “Desist from evilness
If you do this blood will flow now like water inside your court” x2
Oh Ali what has now happened…

5
The horse came near and I cried out, we have nothing
The hooves beat on the desert sand as it came closer by
Stop please the children will wake up they’ve suffered oh so much
The riders face came into view could it be my father?
Sorrow written grief stricken too, sombreness all over x2
Oh Ali what has now happened…

Oh Allah of mine, please help me to find
The purpose of life, and peace of mind
I know it’s my duty to care for this beautiful Earth
And for all of mankind

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

Lord to You I pray You are the only one worthy of praise

O my Lord I surrender to You
I entrust all of my affairs to You
I depend on You for Your blessings too
Both with hope and fear of You

There is no fleeing fleeing from You
There is no place of protection and safety but with You
I testify till the very day that I die
There is none to be worshipped but You the Most High

Lord to You I pray You are the only one worthy of praise

Oh Lord help me to remember You To thank You and to Worship You
I uphold my covenant as much as I can
Let me die in a state of Islam
My life my death is all for You
You are the only one Worthy of praise

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

To You I pray bow down prostrate
You are the only one worthy of praise
I stand before You with an attentive heart
Erase my sins from the present and past

To Allah belongs the Universe so beautiful
The planets, stars go floating past obeying his will
To Allah belongs the earth and sky so wonderful
Oh the oceans wide, the mountains high, all the animals

Looking at the sky, so many million miles, over space and time, there is only one God
From a teatop, watch the sun stop, through a dew drop, there is only one God

Chorus:
There is only one God, Praise be to Him
His Love is Eternal, My life is His
There is only One God, Glory be to Him
La Illaha Ill Allah

To Allah belong the Jinn, the Angels and all Man
From fiery fire, purest light and coloured sands
To Allah belong the messengers sent to guide
For every nation those who came, all they tried

To bring back the light, guide through the night, make everything right, there is only one God
Muhammad the last, given the task, peace do we ask, there is only one God

They telling me to stay quiet
Don’t blow the whistle, deny it
They’re threatening me so I hide it
But see right now I have decided…

[Chorus]
I only fear my Lord Allah (4x)
Only Allah

There used be a time when I was crazy afraid
To stand for my justice – speak up and be brave,..
Just be quiet and behave, don’t go starting a wave,
The leaders they be cheaters and my people enslaved
Now I’m stronger, awake from a slumber
Injustice no longer, For freedom a hunger
You don’t need to wonder, Imma be the one to
Want to bring a thunder, Gonna bring a thunder

Fight the corruption, spark an eruption
Wont turn a blind eye to all your destruction
And I will never put you higher than my Lord,
With Him is my reward, and with this I’m reassured

[Chorus]

I swear by the one who holds my soul.
I fear not these threats that I’ve been told
You may think right now your in control
But Allah knows the things you’ll never know.

As I open this message, mom says is nonsense
To think that this live will be changed by a kid.
Now it is our day, and you know we’re not afraid
With empty hands and open mind, will lead them all
to a better way…

My enemy is chuckling because me knees are buckling
They took all of my weapons so Im just left with my knuckles then
They know that I’m afraid of all the power that they got
And the people on the street that try to speak gonna get shot

We ain’t got a lot, hope for freedom’s all we got
Revolutions can’t be stopped, coming like a juggernaut!
We tried every way, they don’t hear what we say
Allah hears when we pray, peace and justice today

We stand as your equal, power to the people
Commanding what is right and forbidding what is evil
Tempted to run, when they come with them guns
but I’m standing here cause I fear only one

[Chorus]

I’m thinking about the people who were so willing to represent, l
Some of them giving their lives, spreading the truth wherever they went
Bringing the freedom to they Land, whatever they do their faith is strong
Keeping in real, never they scared, Only the Lord did they fear

Release from the jaws of this creep and his flaws
policing the laws, my people at loss.
Now deep in our hearts, we keep with the cause
In peace in do I march and we reach for the stars.

Call me a hater, a rebel, a traitor
But every dictator, there is one who is greater
Threatening my friends, my life, my job,
But you know I will not bend, cause I only fear Allah!

Oj Paana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai,
Arsh Jaana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

Arsh Se Bhi Paray Woh Ho Ae,
Aana Jaana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

Shadiyane Bajay Shab e Mairaj,
Aaj Jana Meray Huzoor Ka Hai.

Haq Ta’aala Ka Jalwa Raaton Raat,
Daikh Aana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

Baithay Baithay Madinah Ghoom Ae,
Kya Bulaana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

Dainay Waali Hai Zaat Allah Ki,
Par Dilaana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

Qabr Ka Khoaf Ho Mujhay Kyon Kar,
Wahan pay aana mery huzoor ka hai.

Gam Na Mehsar Ki Dhoop Ka Hai Waan,
Shamiyana Mere Huzur Ka Hai.

Kash Kehnay Lagain Yeh Log Obaid,
Tu Deewana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai

Dil Ubaid E Raza Ka Hai Gulshan,
Dil Sajana Mere Huzur Ka Hai.

Main Hoon Tayyar Intezar Yeh Hai,
Kab Bulaana Mere Hazoor Ka Hai.

La’al-o-yaqoot-o-neelam-o-marjaan,

Bhai Bhai Muhajiro Ansar,
Dil Milana Mere Huzur Ka Hai.

Lalo Yaqut Nilamo Marjan,
Har Khazana Mere Huzur Ka Hai.

Jame Sheer Ek Sher Sattar Ne,
Ye Pilana Mere Huzur Ka Hai.

Look around yourselves
Can’t you see this wonder
Spreaded infront of you
The clouds floating by
The skies are clear and blue
Planets in the orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony

Let’s start question in ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us

Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..
No..

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Look inside yourselves
Such a perfect order
Hiding in yourselves
Running in your veins
What about anger love and pain
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?

Lets start question in ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us?
Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..?
No..

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

When a baby’s born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching him growing..
So why deny
Whats in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life..

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look quiet we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Open your eyes and hearts and minds
If you just look bright to see the signs

Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way

Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Allah..
You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Robb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You..
Alhamdulillah..

Can we not see how the planets look like diamonds in the sky?
And everything on earth was created for you and I
And can we not see that man is merely waiting
For the final day to arrive, to arrive

CHORUS:
Do we feel a deeper meaning to it all?
And in our creation there are no flaws
And we’re trying to control something we can’t explain
Or we wander around blindly in the dark without an aim
Do we think it’s all a game?

La Ilaha Illa Allah
Muhammadun Rasool Allah
There’s no God but Allah
And Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

And do we think the truth is no longer clear to see?
And the simple things are left behind
Like smiling at your fellow man
Or looking up at the velvet sky
And sometimes it makes me wonder why we’re all still here

CHORUS

Nasheed Information:

Singer: Hamza Robertson
Album: Something About Life

It’s is said in traditions in the past
We’re made from the dust upon the earth
You and I one day we’ll be asked
How each day we treated her

How we are ruining her face, by the trees cut down just out of greed
How we put poison into her veins , we polluted the rivers and the seas
Now she is struggling to breath, the air we’ve spoiled, made a storm
And the fever that I know she feels, our earth heats beyond the norm

Oh how will she receive us, on the day we are laid to rest
Forgive us oh Lord, for what we’ve done to our earth

[chorus]
What have we done to our Earth
When will we open out eyes
And change the way we live our lives
Your Earth, My Earth, Our Earth, Our Earth.
Tierra, Prithvi, Jahan, Ziemia, Bumi Kita, Duniya, Turkish, Zamin, Ardina
(“Our Earth” or “Earth” in Spanish, Bengali/Hindi, Urdu, Polish, Indonesian, Turkish, Persian and Arabic.)

I see her shivering shaking
cause of all of the mess we are making
But I’m feeling my people awaken
And were headed in a new direction

I’ve started to change the things I buy, I’m making adjustments to my place
I know that change It starts inside, recycling, watching what I waste
And now my voice I use to shout, when these companies try wheel and deal,
Every atom’s weight of good will count, to ease pain that she feels

But I feel a wind of change blowing from heaven above
Let’s heal all the wounds and pain we’ve caused to

[chorus]

[chorus - in Zulu]

Naseeha ja’at min nabeena
Alayna an nahmeeha
Azrau shajarah
Takuno Sadaqa
Tajidu Baraka
Aqaluha Ashara

(Advice came from our Prophet
It is important to take care of the earth
Plant a tree, it will be like a charity
You will get reward, at least 10 times fold.)
