Al Habib by Talib Al Habib Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
La ilaha illallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
La ilaha ilallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
[Verse 1]
Shine your mercy like the sun
And be gracious as the earth
Let your kindness come like rain
That cares not whom it falls upon
And let ocean deep your wisdom be
Your heart a lantern spreading peace
Give yourself in love of him
Be like Al Habib
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And in your deepest need and in your deepest grief
Call on him in humility
Place your trust in the one, to whom creation turns
You'll find redemption and find peace
[Chorus 1]
La ilaha ilallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
[Verse 2]
Be a blazing fire of truth
Be a soothing balm of peace
With the light of your sincerity
Break the clouds of tyranny
Let your faith be like a blessed tree
Give your shade to all who seek
May your roots run true and deep
Take your strength from Al Habib
[Chorus 2]
Ya nabi salamalaik ya rasulle salamalaik
Ya habib salamalaik salawatullah alaik
[Bridge 1]
And know that certainty will bring tranquility
Contentment with Allah's decree
Give thanks for all that comes, be patient and know that
Someday you will return to him
[Chorus 1]
La ilaha ilallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
[Verse 3]
Hold fast to the company
Of the folk of certainty
Through their gaze and through your love for them
May you be as one of them
Be as gentle as the whispering breeze
Spread solace to the world weary
Let your heart and soul be mirror clear
Give life and love to Al Habib
[Chorus 2]
Ya nabi salamalaik ya rasulle salamalaik
Ya habib salamalaik salawatullah alaik
[Bridge 2]
And stand before Allah like nothing else exists
And worship him like you are seen
Be with all creation and all your deeds and words
As though you have no self to please
[Chorus 1]
La ilaha ilallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
[Verse 4]
Yet when you master all of this
Forget not your neediness
Were it not for Allah's grace
None of this can be achieved
So be humble as the lonely earth
That all creatures walk up on
Be the slave of the most merciful
Take your light from Al Habib
[Verse 5]
So shine your mercy like the sun
Send your light across the earth
Let your kindness flow like rivers
Quench the thirst of all who come
And let mountain strong your spirit be
Let your heart melt out of love for him
Take the road that leads to him
May you be with Al Habib
[Chorus 2]
Ya nabi salamalaik ya rasulle salamalaik
Ya habib salamalaik salawatullah alaik
Ya nabi salamalaik ya rasulle salamalaik
Ya habib salamalaik salawatullah alaik
[Chorus 1]

La ilaha illallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
La ilaha ilallah Muhammadun rasulullah
Alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
[Verse 1]
Shine your mercy like the sun
And be gracious as the earth
Let your kindness come like rain
That cares not whom it falls upon
And let ocean deep your wisdom be
