Update 20 January 2007

AsSalamu Alaykum, May Peace be upon you

This is just an update which I'm putting here more as a historical record than anything else..
Just now, the visitor count Alhamdulillah reached 500 before mine very eyes! Shouldn't be too far until I make it to the top then!

I've decided to video-convert most translations onto google for general ease of viewing, making it available for a wider audience on youtube, and because it just looks so good!

LiveVideo is also pretty cool so I should be putting them up on there too..

I have discovered a virtual nasheed treasure chest at a blog called mujahideenryder.com. Insha2allh will add some of them here.. sometime.

So check out the following sites/programs I found impressive
- the-deen.co.uk
- Opera.com
- mujahideenryder.com
- LiveVideo.com

There is also so much good Islamic/Semi-Islamic stuff on YouTube, so it's really worth checking out!

Always open for suggestions using the all-new email-me system (scroll down and look right!)

And.. thats about it

Take Care Y'all

WasSalamu Alaykum!

اشكوا الى الله | Ashkoo Ila Allah | I confide to God


Arabic Lyrics:

اشكوا الى الله الكروب ** و ادمعي حراثة
و الوْدُ بالصبر الجميل ** و حكمة الدهر الدٌئوب

اشكوا الى الله الكروب ** و ادمعي حراثة
اشكوا الى الله الكروب ** و ادمعي حراثة
و الوْدُ بالصبر الجميل ** و حكمة الدهر الدٌئوب
و الوْدُ بالصبر الجميل ** و حكمة الدهر الدٌئوب

و اسلم الصعب الجموح (؟) الى معالجة الغيوب
و اسلم الصعب الجموح (؟) الى معالجة الغيوب
ثقة و ايماناً بمن رحماته تحيي القلوب
ثقة و ايماناً بمن رحماته تحيي القلوب

و اذا تجلى سره في عبده ملك الدروك
و اذا تجلى سره في عبده ملك الدروك
سد الطريق على الزمان ** و قام في وجه الخطور
سد الطريق على الزمان ** و قام في وجه الخطور

اشكوا الى الله الكروب ** و ادمعي حراثة
و الوْدُ بالصبر الجميل ** و حكمة الدهر الدٌئوب

English Lyrics:

I confide to God the hardships ** And my tears flow

And I persevere with beautiful patience ** And how wise the fate of life is

I confide to God the hardships ** And my tears flow
I confide to God the hardships ** And my tears flow
And I persevere with beautiful patience ** And how wise the fate of life is
And I persevere with beautiful patience ** And how wise the fate of life is

And I submit what what is difficult and stubborn ** To the curing of the unseen

And I submit what what is difficult and stubborn ** To the curing of the unseen
Trusting and faithful in He.. ** ..whose mercies revive the hearts
Trusting and faithful in He.. ** ..whose mercies revive the hearts

And if his secret takes an honourable presence in his Servant he achieves enlightenment
And if his secret takes an honourable presence in his Servant he achieves enlightenment
..he bars the way in front of Time ** and stands in the face of Dangers
..he bars the way in front of Time ** and stands in the face of Dangers

I confide to God the hardships ** And my tears flow

And I persevere with beautiful patience ** And how wise the fate of life is

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
(From http://almuhands.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62939 with minor editing)

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

Here is the requested nasheed + lyrics translation..
أكرم بأحمد - Akrem Be Ahmad - He generously gave us Ahmad (Muhammad PBUH)

Lyrics:
NB: Ahmad is one of the names of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
(For Arabic Lyrics Click Here)
The owner of all existence has generously given us Ahmad..
'Taha', The Inspired, Noble Prophet
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance

The owner of all existence has generously given us Ahmad..
'Taha', The Inspired, Noble Prophet
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance

Allah has made special his creatures by [sending to them them] Ahmad
[As a] gift of light from the loving (Allah SWT)

So all the creatures rejoiced and were moved
at the effluence of the radiance of he whose matter is great (Allah SWT)

A birth- whose radiance illuminated the worlds-
in which happiness has gladly risen (like the sun)

And Shirk* has fallen into darkness and grimly been caste aside
When the Joy of Faith became clear

And all of existence cheerfully brought glad tidings, announcing
the birth of the source of Obedience and Benevolence

The owner of all existence has generously given us Ahmad..
'Taha', The Inspired, Noble Prophet
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance

You are the completion of the construction, and a conclusion..
to the messengers, and the the building's decoration

My heart is eager to Pray that Mercy and Blessings be upon the Prophet..
'Taha' the beloved, with the earnest of the assurer(?)

My praying for the Prophet is my method..
of gaining [Allah's] Forgiveness and the Wiping of my Sins

It is the lifeline of my Soul and my internal joy,
And the end of my grief and the end of my sorrow

And the glad Tidings of the Signs speak with tenderness
;The Owner of all existence has sent [a messenger] unto us!

The owner of all existence has generously given us Ahmad..
'Taha', The Inspired, Noble Prophet
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance

Bestow unto us, O Generous One, a grant
that allows us to live in a Paradise of Gardens

And open up the Hearts of the beleivers to a Way of Life..
containing a Goodness that lasts throughout the Ages

Unite the Ranks of the Muslims with an earnest
with which we can Ascend to confident advancement

Allah has raised you to a High Position
That you talk to us [about] a final destination of Contentment

May God bestow his Mercy and Blessings upon the Beloved and his People
with Gracious favour which is wholly clean and pure

The owner of all existence has generously given us Ahmad..
'Taha', The Inspired, Noble Prophet
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance
My Lord, Increase our love for the beloved [Prophet]..
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance
Bestow upon us the mercy of your divine guidance

Unknown Artist!

Salam Aleikum Brothers and Sisters; I seem to be encountering a slightly unusual problem today. During my usual browsing of YouTube I found a rather charming Nasheed that looks like a program intro on the Iqraa TV Channel. It starts off with انا مؤمن و الحب ترياقي or 'I am a believer and Love is the quencher of my thirst'. I love it because it has my name in it (mu'min, or believer)!The problem is I can't seem to find the title OR the name of the Artist! If anybody can help me out I'd really appreciate it and I might even consider sending you an edible treat! Anyways, here it is a la english lyrics! Enjoy!
انا مؤمن - Ana Mu'min - I am a Believer

(The following is a 'jisted translation' which tries to convey the 'feel' of the words rather than literally translating them. After all, that is the beauty of Poetry!)
Lyrics:
I am a Believer and Love is the quencher of my Thirst
And the generous virtues of Islam are my manners
I am a Muslim and Love is the quencher of my Thirst
And the generous virtues of Islam are my manners
Through my Love amongst People I declare it
Through my Love amongst People I declare it
My Religion, My Quran and My Pledge
My Religion, My Quran and My Pledge
The name of my Lord, in my Soul I repeat it
With all my Hopes and Yearnings
The name of my Lord, in my Soul I repeat it
With all my Hopes and Yearnings
My Love for my Lord and my Prophet and those..
..who are around me is the light of my soul and of my gardens
I am a Muslim and Love is the quencher of my Thirst
And the generous virtues of Islam are my manners
Through my Love amongst People I declare it
Through my Love amongst People I declare it
My Religion, My Quran and My Pledge
My love for my Brethren and for my Neighbours
Is a Pact which has seeped deep inside of me
My love for my Brethren and for my Neighbours
Is a Pact which has seeped deep inside of me
And for every human being on Earth..
is my love and tenderness and kind feelings
my love and tenderness and kind feelings
I am a Muslim and Love is the quencher of my Thirst
With the generous virtues of Islam I fly High
Through my Love amongst People I declare it
( My Religion, My Quran and My Pledge)

Last Breath (English)


يا اُمّي - Ya Ommie - Oh Mother



Album: Samtan (In Silence)
Lyrics
CHORUS
I will return oh mother لسوف أعود يا أمي
And kiss your chaste head أقبّل رأسك الزاكي
And supress (blame?) my desires أبتّك كل أشواقي
And taste the scent of your blessings وأرشف عطر يمناك
Besmirch in the richness of your feet أمرغ في ثرى قدميك
my cheek when I meet you خدي حين ألقاك
Water the soil with my tears أروي الترب من دمعي
Happy that you are aliveسرورا في محياك

How many nights did you stay up late فكم أسهرت من ليل
So that I could sleep to my content? لأرقد ملأ أجفاني
And how many times did you thirst وكم أظمأت من جوف
So you could quench my thirst with your tenderness? لترويني بتحناني
And one day I was Ill, I do not forget ويوم مرضت لا أنسى
The tears from you that were like the rain دموعا منك كالمطر
And your eyes which stayed awake وعينا منك ساهرة
fearing that I may be in danger تخاف علي من خطر
And the day we parted at dawn ويوم وداعنا فجرا
and Oh what a harsh dawn that was وما أقساه من فجر
Words cannot explain what يحار القول في وصف الذي
I felt when I abandoned you لاقيت من هجري
And you told me things which I still وقلت مقولة لا زلــت
remember throughout my life مدّكرا بها دهري
"You will never find a heart محال أن ترى صدرا
more tender towards you than mine" أحن عليك من صدري
"You will never find a heart محال أن ترى صدرا
more tender towards you than mine" أحن عليك من صدري

CHORUS

obedience to you, oh want of my life.. ببرك يا منى عمري
[is what] the God of existence has instructed me to do. إله الكون أوصاني
Your content is the secret of my success رضاؤك سر توفيقي
And my love of you is the secret of my beleif وحبك ومض إيماني
And the sincerety of your prayer [for me].. وصدق دعائك انفرجت
has resolved my misfortunes and my sadness به كربي وأحزاني
My love towards you.. ودادك لا يشاطرني
no human being loves anything like it به أحد من البشر
You are the beating of my heart فأنت النبض في قلبي
And you are what lights my vision وأنت النور في بصري
And you are the tune on my lips وأنت اللحن في شفتي
My problems cease when I see your face بوجهك ينجلي كدري
To you I do return oh mother إليك أعود يا أمي
Tomorrow I rest from my journey غدا أرتاح من سفري
And a second age will begin for me ويبدأ عهدي الثاني
and the branches will blossom with flowers ويزهو الغصن بالزهر

CHORUS

الحجاب- Al Hijaab - The Headscarf


Album: Fartaqi
Lyrics
CHORUS
Let them say about my hijab... No, by my Lord I don't care or complain
Let them say about my hijab, that it wastes my youth
Let them elaborate in blaming me, To my religion is my belonging
No, By my lord I don't care or complain, my intention is as mountains
What meaning is there to beauty, if it is easily reached?

CHORUS

They tried to cheat me, I screamed leave me alone
I will stay in my palaces, I will not bow to impudence
They will not defeat my pride, I am the symbol of purity
I walk and piety is my light, Behind the Best of Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

I have a soul which does not settle for that which is low
The way I take, Brothers and Sisters, my role model is Sumayya

CHORUS

I feed my soul with the guidance of the religion... Oh Sister our fountain is pure
Our way is the way of chastity; Walk in it you do not fear
Our religion is the religion of virtue. It doesn't accept vice
Oh daughter of the best religion, fly to paradise

With my hijab and decency, I will gain respect
I will go forward... I don't care if they blame me

CHORUS

هذا القران - HaathalQuraan - This Quran

CHORUS
This Quran unites us, To the path of Good it directs us
Allah (SwT) brought it down, and the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) is our Teacher
And the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) is our Teacher

This Quran is the Guide, for the first of us and for the last
It invites us to knowledge and to work, nothing apart from it edifies us!
The book of Allah, Nothing except it,
edifies us, Let us follow it
The book of Allah, Nothing except it,
edifies us..

CHORUS

The greatest miracle of Allah
It tells us about the secrets of the universe
Almighty Allah revealed it
And his Prophet (peace be upon him) is our teacher

Let us follow its teachings, Come on, guys, Lets Go!
