Mother

Blessed is your face Blessed is your name My beloved Blessed is your smile Which makes my soul want to fly My beloved All the nights And all the times That you cared for me But I never realised it And now it’s too late Forgive me

Now I’m alone filled with so much shame For all the years I caused you pain If only I could sleep in your arms again Mother I’m lost without you

You were the sun that brightened my day Now who’s going to wipe my tears away If only I knew what I know today Mother I’m lost without you

Ummahu,
ummahu,
ya ummi wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi Ummuka,
ummuka,
ummuka ummuka Qawlu rasulika Fi qalbi,
fi hulumi Anti ma’i ya ummi Mother… Mother… O my mother How I long to see O mother “Your mother,
Your mother,
Your mother” Is the saying of your Prophet In my heart,
in my dreams You are always with me mother

Ruhti wa taraktini Ya nura ‘aynayya Ya unsa layli Ruhti wa taraktini Man siwaki yahdhununi Man siwaki yasturuni Man siwaki yahrusuni ‘Afwaki ummi Samihini… You went and left me O light of my eyes O comfort of my nights You went and left me Who,
other than you,
will embrace me? Who,
other than you,
will cover me? Who,
other than you,
will guard over me? Your pardon mother,
forgive me Turkish Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim Sensiz ana Senin kadrini hiç bilemedim ben Aziz ana

Resul buyurdu; Cennet anaların ayakları altında Senin hayalin aklımda,
Ruhumda,
rüyalarımda

Sen gittiğinde canım gitti,
Ayrılık bir yaman dertti,
Dünya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam

Ağlarım ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin
şarkı gibi,
Günahlarım derin derin Hakkını helal et ana

To whom will I tell my sorrow in your absence,
mother? I didn’t know your real value,
my beloved mother

The Messenger (pbuh) said “Paradise is under the mothers’ feet” Your image is in my heart,
my soul,
and my dreams

When you left,
my soul left Our separation was painful The world gave me pain and sorrow my beloved mother

I cry like a cloud You are like a song on my tongue I’ve wronged you countless times Forgive me mother
