محمد الحسيان | Muhammad Al-Hasyan

عرفتك يا رب |A3araftoka Ya Rabb | I knew You, O Lord



Nasheed by Muhammad Al-Hasyan Feat. Rayhan
Arabic Lyrics:

عرفتك يا رب قبل المتاب ** عرفتك مذ ذاق قلبي الصعاب
عرفتك والتيه في خاطري ** يروعني بالدقى والعذاب
عرفتك في كل شيء بدا ** وفي البحر أو في جمال الهضاب
وفي نسمات الهدا ذقتها ** نسيت بها الطيبات العدا
فيا رب صن قلبي عن نزغة ** تريه الضلال نقي الثياب
فجد بي بحبك نحو هداك ** وهبني رضاك وحسن مآب

English Lyrics:

CHORUS
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
(Repeats 3 times at the start)

I knew You, Oh Lord, [even] before I repented..

I knew You since my heart had a taste of hardship

CHORUS
I knew You, and misguidance was inside of me..
.. frightening me with hardship(?) and torture
CHORUS
I knew you in every thing that appeared..
and in the sea or in the beauty of the hills
(Repeats)
CHORUS
And in the breezes of guidance, I tasted them..
I forgot with them the many good things
CHORUS
So, Allah, preserve my heart from a temptation..
..which would show it misguidance in pure clothes

CHORUS
So excel me, with your love, towards your guidance..
And grant me your contentment and the best of places [in paradise].
CHORUS
