When my Lord says to me - will you not be shy of disobeying me?

[Ershad]

Assalamu Alaikkum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu,

It is reported that one of the companions of Imam Ahmad recited the following poem to him. This caused the Imam to suddenly leave the gathering and enter his house where he could be heard reciting the first verse and weeping loudly. The students remarked that the imam cried so much that it was as though he would die.

Others said that someone came to Imam Ahmad and said what is your opinion about poetry, the Imaam Said: What poetry? He said this:......

(then narrated the poem) the Imaam started to repeat the lines of poetry and cry so much, that his cry sounded like the cry of a child and some of his students said that the shaikh will die from the increased amount of crying.

Asalamo`Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh,

I can never hear enough of this nasheed. It's so beautiful. Brother Abu Talib shared it here sometime ago and I think it was BrotherInIslam who shared the video. I've visited that thread often. I noticed the arabic in the video you shared it incomplete. I think the last word of every verse is not written. I could be wrong.

Btw do you know who the reciter is?

JazaakAllaahu khayraa.

Walaykum Assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Baarakallahu feekum, both of you. Yes, you are correct, last word of every arabic sentence is missing.

Wassalamu Alaykum

It's a poem, not a nasheed dude!

Finally, a 'nasheed' we have in common!=) Beautifu It is indeed!!! And the recitor's calm voice just makes it all the more better! I, too, don't know who he is...

Y'know, I didn't notice the missing words at first.. I was a bit too focused on the translation 'cause it was the first time I've seen it. Her's one that has full sentences,

Baarakallahu feekum,

Wa ant?(Is that the proper response?) =) You're welcome, I mean.

 

[Itqan Ullah]

Asslamaliekum warahmatullahi wabarakatu,
Found the lyrics in text form today so thought I should share.

إذا ما قال لي ربي اما استحييت تعصيني

If my Lord asks me, “Have you shyness in disobeying me?
وتخفي الذنب عن خلقي وبالعصيان تأتيني

You conceal your sins from my creation – and with sins you come to me.”

فكيف أجيبُ يا ويحي ومن ذا سوف يحميني؟
So how will I answer? O woe to me – and who shall protect me?

أسُلي النفس بالآمالِ من حينٍ الى حيني

I keep averting my soul with thoughts of hope – from time to time.
وأنسى ما وراءُ الموت ماذا بعد تكفيني

And I forget what is to come after death – and what is to come after I am shrouded.

كأني قد ضّمنتُ العيش ليس الموت يأتيني

As if I am guaranteed life (eternally) – and that death will not come to me.
وجائت سكرة الموتُ الشديدة من سيحميني

And when the severe stupor of death overtakes me – who will protect me?

نظرتُ الى الوُجوهِ أليـس منُهم من سيفدينـــي
I looked at the faces; is there not from amongst them who will ransom me?

سأسأل ما الذي قدمت في دنياي ينجيني

I will be asked regarding what I have prepared in my life to save me (on the Day of Judgement).
فكيف إجابتي من بعد ما فرطت في ديني

Then how will I answer – after I have neglected my religion.
ويا ويحي ألــــم أسمع كلام الله يدعوني

Woe to me! Did I not hear the Speech of Allāh inviting me?
ألــــم أسمع لما قد جاء في قاف ويسِ

Did I not hear what came in (the chapters of) Qāf and Yā-Sīn?

ألـــم أسمع بيوم الحشر يوم الجمع و الديني

Did I not hear about the Day of Gathering, the Day of Assemble and the Day of Judgement?

ألـــم أسمع مُنادي الموت يدعوني يناديني

Did I not hear the crier of death inviting me, calling me?

فيا ربــــاه عبدُ تــائبُ من ذا سيؤويني
So O my Lord, a slave (turning to you) I have repented – so who then shall shelter me?

سوى رب غفور واسعُ للحقِ يهديني

Except a Lord extensive in forgiveness – to the truth He will guide me.

أتيتُ إليكَ فارحمني وثقــّـل في موازيني
I have come to you (in repentance) – so have mercy on me, and make heavy my scales (with good deeds).

وخفَفَ في جزائي أنتَ أرجـى من يجازيني

And lighten my account – You are the best of who will bring me to account.
