Blessed is your face Blessed is your name My beloved Blessed is your smile Which makes my soul want to fly My beloved All the nights And all the times That you cared for me But I never realised it And now it’s too late Forgive me
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame For all the years I caused you pain If only I could sleep in your arms again Mother I’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day Now who’s going to wipe my tears away If only I knew what I know today Mother I’m lost without you
Ummahu, ummahu, ya ummi Wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi Ummuka, ummuka, ummuka ummuka Qawlu rasulika Fi qalbi, fi hulumi Anti ma’i ya ummi Mother... Mother... O my mother How I long to see O mother “Your mother, Your mother, Your mother” Is the saying of your Prophet In my heart, in my dreams You are always with me mother
Ruhti wa taraktini Ya nura ‘aynayya Ya unsa layli Ruhti wa taraktini Man siwaki yahdhununi Man siwaki yasturuni Man siwaki yahrusuni ‘Afwaki ummi Samihini... You went and left me O light of my eyes O comfort of my nights You went and left me Who, other than you, will embrace me? Who, other than you, will cover me? Who, other than you, will guard over me? Your pardon mother, forgive me
