Songs of Innocence | Talib Al Habib (English)

And I sing…
My songs of innocence
To you my precious child
As you lay on your bed

With your sleepy eyes
And your heavy head
Rest and dream in peace
Till morning comes again

I will my songs of innocence
I will my songs of innocence

Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu

And I sing…
My songs of innocence
As I watch you sleep
Think what may lie ahead

So many the roads
That before you spread
Take the way, my child
To the beloved friend

Lead a life…
Of truth and innocence
the way of sunnah
the path of prophet

Let your words
Be echoes of his sentences
Let your deeds
Be shadows of his radiance

Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu

And though the world
Outside seems cold and hard
And you may feel like
You are wandering alone

Do not fear, go not grieve
In Allah place your belief
In his remembrance
Your heart will find its peace

Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu

And I gaze…
At you in wonderment
How your heart
Is filled with innocence

You’ll never know
The joy you bring to me
How your touch and smile
dispel my every grief

May you never…
Lose your innocence
With life’s bittersweet experience

And when the time come
Remember this:
Wisdom is the refinding of innocence

Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu

Now you’re breathing easy
I must call an end
I have sung my song of innocence

And if our paths…
Should never cross again
May God’s peace and
Mercy upon you descend

We will meet…
At the gathering of innocence
At al-Kauthar…
the fount of abundance

By the prophets’ hands may
Our thirst be quenched
We will be with him
And we will be content

Salallahu ‘alayhi wa alihi
Peace and blessings
On him and his family

And who follow
in his blessed way

You and I, my child
may we among them be

You and I, my child
may we among them be

Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa hu

Will you help me learn of innocence?
Sing a song of love and innocence?

Will you help me find my way back home?
Will you fill my heart with innocence?

May I come to you an innocent?
Let me sing my song innocence
