How lush is Your verdant Qudrah
Its valleys are green with:
When khalid grows weary of sinning
Though You don’t tire to forgive

Let me trade the fickle
Conjurations of light
For the dependable
Productions of nūr

For the dependable
Productions of nūr

That day the hordes of tyrants crawl
While hearts like faces bare it all
All witnessing the justice done
To everything and everyone
While hearts like faces bare it all
All witnessing the justice done
To everything and everyone

This world is wont
To fill my eye
With every dark
And poison dye
So cleanse my lens
Ya Basīr, that I may see
Through the eye
Of my heart
To fill my eye
With every dark
And poison dye
So cleanse my lens
Ya Basīr, that I may see
Through the eye
Of my heart

Like this waxing gibbous
Laden with your rahmah
Bring to life and make whole
My dying and misshapen soul
Laden with your rahmah
Bring to life and make whole
My dying and misshapen soul

There is no gem on earth
No gem that shines like mirth
And mirth shines like the sun
Don’t let it burn my mind
Nor let it turn me blind
That in pursuit of happiness
I lose my way back home
No gem that shines like mirth
And mirth shines like the sun
Don’t let it burn my mind
Nor let it turn me blind
That in pursuit of happiness
I lose my way back home

Is it that we find mercy
When we show it to another
Or is that sweet discovery
The mercy altogether
When we show it to another
Or is that sweet discovery
The mercy altogether
