Beyond words
With my right foot firstI stepped into the holy mosqueUpon the cold white marbleWhere day and night people sat worshippin', prayingRight and left the mosque being cleanedShinin' not a particle of dustThe carvings of marble, the plates of goldThe symmetry of the whole mosqueYeah the largest of it allThe came the grandest of the wholeThe big beautiful house of AllahCovered with black cloth and gold leaf writin'My life flashed passed me, the good and the badSuch a feeling my brother, never ever felt I hadA special bondage to the almightyA sudden chill in meLookin' around the large floor was filled with unityCircling the beautiful houseChanting, people sitting, prayin' for forgivenessPrayin' to do better I witnessedTakin' a deep breath, tears was runnin'I ran around the black house, the ancient black houseBuilt by Ibrahim, peace be upon him, circlin' 24 no doubtI got closer, as did my heart, as did my soul, amazingHow everyone had their attention only on worshippin'All concerns forgotten, focused on prayin'Forgettin' everything matters and happenings just givingI looked up in the sky thanking Allah for this journeySayin': I swear I didn't schedule to be here this earlyI thought I'd come here like pops in my forties and fiftiesAnd the doe I paid for the ticket, was meant for some hobbyBut who am I to say if I will be alive tomorrowOr 20 years from now, will my health be able to followFor a moment I pictured my self 6 feet deepIn the cemetery, my corps in the same white sheetsAllah holds the master plan and it's already writtenThe pens are withdrawn, the pages are dry... it's written!
Looking back on my lifeLife that's gladly been given to meOpen my eyes and embrace the smileGiven to you & I
Con mi mano derecha abro la puertaMi madre me recibe con un periódico y una cartaVeo fotos de mi padre abatido por disparosDe momentos ya yo esperoQue mis lágrimas caigan, me preparoMe sorprende que mis ojos estén secos y mi alma esté calmadaEn mi cuerpo no hay dolor por una persona ya olvidada
[Translation:]With my right hand I open the doorMy mom welcomes me with a newspaper and a letterI see pictures of my father fetched down by shotsIn that moment I'm only waitingFor my tears to fall, I'm preparedBut to my surprise my eyes are dry and my soul is calmIn my whole body there's no sign of grief for a forgotten person
Staring outside, there was something I realizedTomorrow the sun will rise, and togetherWill see the beauty of eternity
Salgo a caminar y despejar mis pensamientosLo normal sería sufrimientoO un parecido sentimientoLe pido a Dios que lo amparé en sus últimos momentos
[Translation:]I go out, take a walk and clear my thoughtsThe anticipated feeling would be suffering or something similarI ask God to be merciful in the final hours
Looking back on my lifeLife that's gladly been given to meOpen my eyes and embrace the smileGiven to you & ILooking back on my lifeNo regret only the sweet journeyLessons from the simple stepsTaking by you & I
With my right hand firstI open the door to the room where my woman gave birthTo my first born sonOnly minutes beforeI was in the waiting room, nervousMoms giving me comfortFamily supportAs I approached I could hear him cryingI didn't noticeThat my tears were runningPictured myself for a moment in the arms of my fatherFlashback to the bended shouldersOn which I'd sitGrabbing his fingerTaking my first stepWould I become like him?After a certain age bottle upStop showing loveBut cold handshakes throughout the yearsReplaced by hugsFather whispered in his earsThe family was gatheredPictures were takenMy hands still shakingMy joy was beyond wordsHim in my arms3 generations of tears running so calmHe came with Gods blessing and grace so we named him Faizan
If I worship U in fear of hell, burn me in itAnd if I worship U in hope of paradise, exclude me from itBut if I worship U for Your own beingDon't withhold from me Your everlasting beauty
