Ya Shāfī

Khalid Mukhtar · June 4, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Take my weary body
Dented by the world
Shattered by disease
Broken by the earth
And make it whole again
As whole as you decree
That I may die a Muslim
Your name my final word
And I your slave submitting
Ya Shāfī Ya Rahīm

Take my weary soul
Dented by desire
Shattered by the whispers
Broken by my nafs
And make it whole again
As whole as whole can be
That I may walk in health
And follow my Habib
To where the fountain flows
Ya Shāfī Ya Rahmān
