Lyrics:

يا نور على نور
O light upon light

ازاي مهجور
How can you be abandoned

و انت البلسم لجراح و آلام
when you are the cure for every hurt and every pain?!

يا رسالة من المولى تعالى
You are a message from the Almighty Lord

محفوظة و عايشة مدى الأيام
that has been preserved and will remain forever

ازاي ناسيين و لا نقرا ياسين
How can we forget to recite (the chapter of) Yaseen?!

ماشيين في الدنيا كده ودايسين
Living our lives walking around forgetfully,

الكنز قصادنا و مش شايفين
without noticing the treasure that’s right in front of us

مش بس كتاب ده دليل و طريق
It’s not just a book, it’s a guide and a path

و يحنّ عليك ساعة ما تضيق
that soothes your heart in times of distress

و في عزّ الوحدة بيبقى صديق
and when you’re lonely it is your companion

أنا آية الكرسي بتحميني
Ayat al-Kursi protects me,

و تقرّبني و ترقّيني
and brings me closer to Allah and elevates my rank

اقرأ المزّمل ألاقيني
When I read al-Muzzammil I find that

دُنيتي في القرآن ده و ديني
my life and faith lie within this Book

النّور حواليّا هنا و جنبي
The light is all around me and right here beside me

وانا ليه ببعد كده عن ربي
So why do I stray away from my Lord?

ده مِداد كلماته مَدد قلبي
For His words nourish my heart,

و بكون مجروح و بيشفيني
and heal my wounds when I am hurt
