Songs of Experience by Talib-al-Habib

Another beautiful nasheed by Talib-al-Habib on Parents. One of my favourites, the words are beautiful and emotional.


Note: Rabbanaghfir Warhamhuma Kama Rabbayaani Sagheera means 
"Oh our Lord, forgive and have mercy on both of them (parents) as they nurtured us when we were small.

****

Rabbanaghfir Warhamhuma Kama Rabbayaani Sagheera

Through the window of my eyes

Memories of being a child

I was never afraid when you were by my side

And I grew without a care

Knowing you were always there

To protect me, to raise me, Oh my Father dear

How I relied on your strength and your wisdom

Your calm patient guidance, your kind loving gaze

Lord let whatever I've done that has pleased You

Rain down like blessings and mercy on them

Rabbanaghfir Warhamhuma Kama Rabbayaani Sagheera

What would I be if not for you

Teaching me how to live and grow

Now I can only hope that I have made you proud

Oh how little thanks we show

To our Lord who has bestowed

Parents who would sacrifice for us heart, breath and bone

How I rely on your strength and your wisdom

Your calm patient guidance, your kind loving gaze

Lord let whatever I've done that has pleased You

Rain down like blessings and mercy on them

And now I understand, now I've grown into a man

The cares that must have burdened you, the fearless love you held

So deep within, and as I gaze into my children's eyes

It's only now oh Father that I truly realize

How I rely on your strength and your wisdom

Your calm patient guidance, your kind loving gaze

Lord let whatever I've done that has pleased You

Rain down like blessings and mercy on them

Rabbanaghfir Warhamhuma Kama Rabbayaani Sagheera

Oh if I ever caused you grief

Then I ask you, forgive me

For the sake of the one sent to all as mercy

How the days and seasons fade

I have grown and you have aged

Yet as I lend you my hand, know one thing stays the same

I still rely on your strength and your wisdom

Your calm patient guidance, your kind loving gaze

Lord let whatever I've done that has pleased You

Rain down like blessings and mercy on them 

Rabbanaghfir Warhamhuma Kama Rabbayaani Sagheera

Allahu Allahu La Ilaha Illahu

Allahu Allahu La Ilaha Illahu
