Songs of Innocence

From Sh Faraz's Seeker Digest:




Can 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
Pressed in dream in peace till morning comes again

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

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

Can I sing my songs of innocence
As I watch you sleeping, what may lie ahead
So many the roads that before you spread,
Take away my child to the beloved friend.
Need a life of truth and innocence
The way of sunnah, the path of the Prophet
Let your words be echoes of his sentences
Let your deeds be shadows of his radiance.

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

And though the world sometimes feels cold and hard
And you may feel like you are wandering alone
Do not fear
Do not grieve
In Allah, place your belief
In His remembrance your heart will find its’ peace.

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

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 comes, remember this
Wisdom is the re finding of innocence

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

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 gods peace and mercy upon you descend
We will meet at the gathering of innocence
At al Kausar, the fountain of abundance
By the Prophet’s hand, may our thirst be quenched
We will be with him and we will be content

Sallal lauhu allaihi wa alayhi
Peace and blessings on him and his family
And all 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

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu
Sing a song of love and innocence
Allah hu Allah hu
Lailah illahhu

Ya Allah
Will you help me find my way back home
Ya Allah
Will you fill my heart with innocence
May I come to you in innocence
Let me sing my song of innocence
