The Cave of Hira

Bara Kherigi, Sami Yusuf

[Chant]
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi

[Verse 1]
On a clear and moonlit night
In the dark cave of Hira
A man began to cry
Oh Allah, show me the light
Tell me why I was created
Where will I go after I die?
What’s the purpose of this life
Where people murder and lie?
How can I stop their corruption?
Oh Allah, you’re my only guide

[Chorus]
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Rasulallah, ya Habiballah, ya Safiyyallah
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami

[Verse 2]
On that clear and blessed night
Jibra'il came to Hira
He hugged Prophet Muhammad
Until he thought he would die
Read Oh Muhammad, read
In the name of your lord
By Allah, you’ve been chosen
Over the whole of mankind
You’ve been elevated high
Like the moon up in the sky

[Chant]
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi

[Bridge]
Ya Yasin (ya Khalilallah)
Ya Amin (ya Najiyyallah)
Ya Makin (ya Shahidallah)
Ya Mukhtar (ya Hafiyyallah)
Ya Taha (ya Habiballah)

[Chant]
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi
Hayya 'ibad Allah
Ahibba Allah
Sallu 'alan-Nabi

[Verse 3]
He’s a mercy for mankind
His speech was gentle and kind
He summoned people to Allah
And led them on his path
Mankind lived in the darkness
Everyone alive was just blind
His message brought the light
To the hearts that had no sight
In mercy, he’s the ocean
While others are drops of rain

[Chorus]
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Rasulallah, ya Habiballah, ya Safiyyallah
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami

[Verse 4]
Forever we’ll be indebted
To him for this Islam
Our life for him we’ll give
His message with us will live
Our love for him knows no bounds
It is loftier than the clouds
Whenever his name is mentioned
Our tears begin to flow
Oh Allah, send your blessings
On Al Mustafa

[Chorus/Outro]
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Rasulallah, ya Habiballah, ya Safiyyallah
Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Ya Nabiyyallah, ya Waliyyallah, ya Khalilallah
