The Return by Talib Al Habib Lyrics
[Intro]
The hour has come
For your soul's return
Life's journey done
Now the long promised questions come
[Pre-Chorus]
How did you worship the Lord of the world?
Did you submit with your heart and your soul?
How did you answer the one who was sent as a mercy to you?
[Chorus]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
[Verse 1]
One day you told me, "This life is a bridge
Don't build upon it but cross over it
Always remember the end of the road
From Allah you've come and to him you'll return"
[Chorus]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, forgive me for all that is passed
Over the call of my own heedlessness
With your remembrance let me be content
Let me behold you when comes the judgement
[Chorus]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
[Bridge 1]
Verily, from Allah do we come and to Allah we shall return
(Verily, from Allah do we come and to Allah we shall return)
Verily, from Allah do we come and to Allah we shall return
(Verily, from Allah do we come and to Allah we shall return)
[Verse 3]
Live in this world as wayfarer only passing by
(As if your only passing by)
This joy and this sorrow will pass in the blinking of an eye
(In the blinking of an eye)
For when all illusions and veiling shadows are no more
(Are no more)
All that remains will be the glory and might of your Lord
[Bridge 2]
Do not fear, no, and do not despair
In the mercy of Allah awaiting you there
Do not fear for no will may compare
To the will of Allah
[Bridge 3]
(Inna lillahi)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
[Chorus]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
The hour has come
For your soul's return
Life's journey done
Now the long promised questions come
[Pre-Chorus]
How did you worship the Lord of the world?
Did you submit with your heart and your soul?
How did you answer the one who was sent as a mercy to you?
