Lyrics:
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور
Ya ‘Alimu Ya Shakur
يا عليم يا شكور
Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One!
Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One!
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
What makes you sigh?
My father said to me
Saw you walking by
And keeping it from me
I do care, I do care
Come sit with me
Tell me what’s on your mind
I know how it can be
I also was a child
Don’t despair, don’t despair
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
How can I tell you about
All that I feel
You would only start to shout
Make a big deal
And I’m beginning to doubt
If my wounds will heal
You’re right, I’m wrong, always the same
No one, really, knows of my pain
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور
Ya ‘Alimu Ya Shakur
يا عليم يا شكور
Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One!
Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One!
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
I never knew
You felt this way
Sometimes I’s true
You had no say
My hopes for you
Made me walk by
I left no room
To let you try
I’d not realized
How much you’d grown
To make mistakes
I’m also prone
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور
Ya ‘Alimu Ya Shakur
يا عليم يا شكور
Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One!
Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One!
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
I thought I was the only one
Who felt this pain
Who felt so wronged
I thought you didn’t really care
But now I know I was unfair
Without you I would never be
The person I have come to be
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
