Lyrics:
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
تَهدينا سبيلاً يَنفعُنا
to guide us to the best path
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما كنا ضَلَلنا أو ضِعنَا
We wouldn’t have gone astray or become lost
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
بزمانِنا يا رسول الله
in our time, O Messenger of Allah!
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
نَشبَعُ نَظَرًا حين نَراكَ
We’d feel contented when we see you
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ونُصَلِّي وراءَكَ نلْقَاكَ
We’d pray behind you and meet you
ونُقَبِّلُ كفّيكَ ونَسعَد
We’d kiss your hands and rejoice
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
نروي لك عما يُوجعُنا
We’d tell you about everything that’s troubling us
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
لتَبُوحَ إليك مدامِعُنا
our falling tears would divulge everything to you
ونَنالَ برِفْقَتِكَ الجنة
We’d attain Paradise in your company
و نعيمَ المَوْلَى في عُلاه
and the blessings of the Almighty Lord
ليتك معنا بزماننا
If only you were with us in our time
يا رسول الله
O Messenger of Allah!
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما كان بأُمتِنا فقير
There wouldn’t be anyone poor in our Ummah
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
نَرْعَى يتيمًا .. نُؤوِي كسير
We’d care for the orphan and the sick
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
بزماننا يا رسول الله
in our time, O Messenger of Allah!
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما امتَلأت دُنيانا مَعاصي
our world wouldn’t have been filled with sins
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما غَدا القلبُ كحَجَرٍ قاسِي
our hearts wouldn’t have been as hard as a rock
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
بزماننا يا رسول الله
in our time, O Messenger of Allah!
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما تُهْنَا في ظَلام الجهلِ
we wouldn’t be lost in the darkness of ignorance
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما أَغْفَلْنا دَوْرَ العقلِ
We wouldn’t have neglected the role of reason and intellect
وَتَراجَعْنَا بينَ الأُمَمِ
and we wouldn’t have fallen behind in standing among nations
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
نَرفَعُ ظُلمًا، نَنْصرُ حقَّا
We’d uproot injustice and uphold the truth
ليتك معنا
If only you were with us
ما انقَسمت أُمَّتُنا فِرَقا
Our Ummah wouldn’t have become divided into factions
بسلامٍ نَحيا وبقُوَّة
We’d live peacefully while possessing strength
لنُعَمِّرَ في أرض الله
And we’d build and contribute to God’s earth
ليتك معنا بزماننا
If only you were with us in our time
يا رسول الله
O Messenger of Allah!
