Dedikasi untuk Gaza – We Will Not Go Down

Lagu ini saya dedikasikan untuk saudara-saudara di Gaza yang terus mengibarkan panji perjuangan, menegakkan deen ALLAH yang dipijak, menghadang perancangan musuh dan berusaha untuk membersihkan maruah ISLAM yang tercalar.

Saudara-saudaraku, inilah sebuah lagu, yang bukan dibuat oleh saudara seaqidahmu, tetapi seorang lelaki yang saya sendiri tidak tahu apakah agamanya, mungkin sahaja seorang nasrani, mungkin juga seorang yahudi, mungkin juga seorang atheis.

Tetappi lihatlah, Michael Heart ini mencipta sebuah lagu untuk kalian wahai saudara-saudaraku. lagu terus untuk saudara-saudaraku di Gaza. Nyata dia tersentuh dengan perjuangan kalian walaupun berbeza agama.

Michael dalam bahasa arabnya adalah Mikail, Malaikat Pemberi Rezeki, Heart dalam bahasa melayunya disebut hati. Kita bila diberi rezeki memang hati akan terasa senang. Saya sendiri terharu dengan kesensitifan hati Michael Heart ini. Semoga ALLAH memberikan dia hidayah sebagai ganjaran kesensitifan hatinya.

Mari kita hayati lagu yang didendangkannya. Lagu boleh didengari dari video di bawah lirik.

This is a song of hope for the Palestinians in Gaza, composed and performed by Michael Heart (www.michaelheart.com)

Lyrics:

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight

We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

-Aicha-

All of ya’ll radios out there
This song goes out to yo
Yeah, Aicha, for my sister, ya

Verse1
So sweet, so beautiful
Everyday like a queen on her throne
Don’t nobody knows how she feels
Aicha, Lady one day it will be real

She moves, she moves like a breeze
I swear I can’t get her out of my dreams
To have her shining here by my side
I’d sacrifice all the tears in my eyes

Chorus

Aicha Aicha – passing me by (there she goes again)
Aicha Aicha – my my my (is it really real)
Aicha Aicha – smile for me now
Aicha Aicha – in my life

Verse2

She holds her child to her heart
Makes her feel like she is blessed from above
Falls asleep underneath her sweet tears
Her lullaby fades away with his tears

1/2Chorus

Bridge

She needs somebody to lean on
Someone body, mind & soul
To take her hand, to take her world
And show her the time of her life, so true
Throw the pain away for good
No more contemplating boo

Verse3

Lord knows the way she feels
Everyday in his name she begins
To have her shining here by my side
I’d sacrifice all the tears in my eyes
Aicha Aicha – ecouté moi

Chorus

-Outlandish-

Ketika Rasulullah SAW sedang nazak hendak wafat, sahabat-sahabat bertanya,

” Ya Rasulullah, apakah kau mempunyai wasiat pada saat-saat ini?”

Rasulullah SAW menjawab,

” Aku mewasiatkan kepada kamu untuk menjaga wanita, layani dan jagalah mereka dengan baik dan penuh penghormatan”

ALLAH SWT berfirman,

” Sesungguhnya lelaki itu lebih kuat dari perempuan”

Ayat ini bukanlah membawa maksud perempuan itu hina, tetapi ayat ini menyatakan bahawa perempuan adalah tanggungjawab kepada lelaki. Lelaki diberi kekuatan untuk menjaga perempuan, maka perempuan perlu dilayan dengan baik dan penuh penghormatan.

Dedikasi untuk sahabat – Words Stuck To The Heart

Nasyid ini saya dedikasikan kepada semua sahabat saya, semoga ALLAH sentiasa menjaga kalian

Words Stuck To Heart

Time after time we dream
Dreaming of how it all could be
But none can say what lies ahead
When after the dawn the sun will set
Only the truth remains in here

Mmmm…
Promises we make in vain and
Words we give for a while to break
A flower fades away – like everything else
Oh everything fades away

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together ’til we part again
They bring us together ’til we part again
When there’s nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

My friend, my friend
Cuando solo el silencio canta (when only silence sings)
my friend, my friend, my friend
Y solo tus sueños bastan (when your dreams are sufficient)

Blood ain’t blood for just the veins
If tears don’t bleed the heart has failed
Need some space to ease my mind
I give it all up for just a smile
Only the truth remains in here

Mmmm…
Promises we make in vain and
Words we give for a while to break
A flower fades away – like everything else
Oh everything fades away

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together ’til we part again
They bring us together ’til we part again
When there’s nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

From street thugs
To ghetto sufis
Holding their breaths
We clutch to riches and fame
Like it’s all that’s left
Righteousness is kept
Through minds awakened
Today we break our word
Like the bread we breaking

Así que tus palabras son mi cuna
Mi promesa es tu luna
Y cuando tu verso es verde claro que busca en el monte amparo
Mi verso es un puñal que da agua de coral
Llevo promesas tatuadas en el pecho

[Translation]
Like your words are my sanctuary
My promise is your moon
And when your verse is pure green
Searching in the sheltering wilderness
Then my verse is a dagger
Of clear coral water
I carry promises tattooed on my chest

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together ’til we part again
They bring us together ’til we part again
When there’s nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

Dedikasi untuk diri – Eyes Never Dry

-Nasyid ini saya tujukan untuk diri saya sendiri, yang berusaha untuk memperbaiki diri-

-Eyes Never Dry-

Intro
Ain’t gonna be the one who’s lost
One who’s gone
One who’s wrong, no
Don’t wanna be the falling one
Crawling one
Drowning one, no
What a beautiful day today
And I can’t get a lil’ smile from ya
Should’ve known about everything
I guess, I wasn’t made up for what u wanted to
Still the meaning ain’t clear
Somebody keeps crying in the morning
And it never dries
I gotta find a way out of the moaning
And I hope I’ll get it done in due time
Sure, life is hard
Sure, time is now
Just keep on believing
And u gon’ be winnin’ ’em all
In due time…

Sista
Brotha
The Lord gon’
Be there

Chorus

It’s all gon’ be alright
You ain’t got’s to cry
Day in & day out
Eyes never dry

It’s all gon’ be alright
You ain’t got’s to cry
Day in & day out
Eyes are never dry

Rapverse1 (Waqas)

In the name of the most beneficent the most high
He who holds my soul before and after I die
See I’m lost in confusion so please help me lord
I wanna act right but can’t play my cards right
Don’t let me go astray show me the right path
So I can be amongst the righteous and not those who catch your wrath
Any fool can make a baby only a man can raise one
June 17th you granted me a son
I know the first look is forgiven but the second isn’t
But I’m already at my 5th lord now I wish I´d listened
To the truth I know a part of it still in denial
If I knew what your loved one knew I would barely smile

Chorus

Rapverse2 (Lenny)

Perdón señor
Por todos mis pecados
Aquí estoy llorando
Ante mi cama arrodillado
Señor mío yo he pecado
Señor mío yo he herido
A un ser muy querido
A un ser al que yo amo
Y que siempre he respetado
Yo rezo a que la cuides
Que las penas tu le quites
Alúmbrale sus pasos
Y los fríos de sus años
Suplico la bendigas
Dale paz a cada uno de sus días
Bésale el camino
Hacerla feliz yo no ha podido
Es lo único que te pido
Te lo ruego
Amén

Translation

Forgive me my Lord
For all my sins
Here I am crying
Kneeled before my bed
My Lord I’ve sinned
My Lord I’ve hurted
A dear one
Someone I love
And always have respected
I pray you to take care of her
And that her sorrow you’ll take away
Illuminate her steps
And the cold of her years
I supplicate you to bless her
Give peace to every single one of her days
Kiss her way
Coz I couldn’t make her happy
This is the only thing I pray to you for
I beg you
In the name of ALLAH
Amen

Chorus

Rapverse3 (Isam)

Dry ya tears sis I can’t stand seeing ya cry
U got so much heart for a lil’ girl
U worry like mom
6 years old and she already reads the fam like a book
How come u’re so sad kid, don’t u worry ’bout it too
So she rather sit next to me so I can explain how it is
How it ain’t true her brother is jobless because of his Diin
And it’s b.s. when her sista claims her name was the reason for beef
And the fam is full of it when they tell her we gon’ leave
Yeah I’m lying to her, but only to see that smile on her face
I’m her role model, whut??? I gots to give the kid faith!!!
I’m prayin that one day she’d be on top of the world
As this pearl puts her veil on
And runs out to her girls…
Knowin’

Dedikasi untuk Muslimin – Just Me-

-Nasyid ini saya dedikasikan untuk muslimimin mu’minin di seluruh pelusuk dunia ini-

Just Me

Switch on the TV what do I see
Yet another guy that looks just like me
Another picture, Another story, Another tale, Another piece
Some guy who got shot
Young guy left to rot
Lady got robbed
Some guys who got stopped

Open the paper in search of news and enlightenment
Met by some story ’bout hate and incitement
Half the stories in the paper ’bout us
Another woman got assaulted on the bus

There’s a piece about young immigrants and thugs
Another article ’bout brother selling drugs
Turn the page hurt my eyes enough
Yo this bs everyday is tough

It’s just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can’t set your mind free,

Hear a lie enough times and you believe it for sure
Obstacles in your way make u wanna quit
And turn your back on everything

Shine a light up
Brothers and sisters going get brighter
Even though the media try to demonize us
Need to wiser
With eyes wide shut
We ain’t gon’ get nowhere
So man listen up
Raise your cup
It ain’t half empty
It’s half full
Life is a test
It faces many obstacles

Con la frente siempre en alto hasta el crepúsculo
Nunca esperando un milagrito mayúsculo
Soy ciego a los lamentos de aquellos que se aferran a ser victimas
Blanco, negro
Creyente no creyente
La belleza de este mundo es que somos differentes

[Translation:]
Always facing the twilight
Never expecting miracles to happen
I have immunity to the wailing of those who insists on being victims
White, black
Believers, non-believers
The beauty of this world is the fact that we are different

It’s just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can’t set your mind free,

Another day in parliament politicians speak
So call Guardians of the land protectors of the weak
Immigration this integration that
Minorities dissed again same ol’ chat
Open the paper in search of news and enlightenment
Met by some story bout hate and incitement
Half the stories in the paper bout us
Another woman got assaulted on the bus

Theres a piece about young immigrants and thugs
Another article ’bout brother selling drugs
Turn the page hurt my eyes enough
Yo this bs everyday is tuff

It’s just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can’t set your mind free

Dedikasi untuk Palestina – I only Ask of God

-Nasyid ini saya dedikasikan kepada saudara-saudara saya di Palestina-

I Only Ask Of God

I only ask of God
He won’t let me be indifferent to the suffering
That the very dried up death doesn’t find me
Empty and without having given my everything

I only ask of God
He won’t let me be indifferent to the wars
It is a big monster which treads hard
On the poor innocence of people
It is a big monster which treads hard
On the poor innocence of people

People…people, people

I only ask of God
He won’t let me be indifferent to the injustice
That they do not slap my other cheek
After a claw has scratched my whole body

I only ask of God
He won’t let me be indifferent to the wars
It is a big monster which treads hard
On the poor innocence of people
It is a big monster which treads hard
On the poor innocence of people

People…people…people

Solo le pido a Dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstro grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
Es un monstro grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente

People…people…people

Palestine

Close my eyes tonight
My conscience by my side
It’s hard to live this life
Where truth begins with lies

So I won’t sleep… I will stay awake
Cause if I dream… they will/then they’ll take their claim
Oh I try… oh I try to fight
To stay awake tonight
Palestine, Palestine, Palestine… always on my mind

Truth is where desire ends
A meaning to an end
I search myself all the time
To change what’s in my mind

So I won’t sleep… I will stay awake
Cause if I dream… they will/then they’ll take their claim
Oh I try… oh I try to fight
To stay awake tonight
Palestine, Palestine, Palestine… always on my mind

I can’t find peace cause it’s hard to release what we’ve done
What we could be if we’d only see what we’ve become
It’s unbelievable it’s undeniable ohhhh!
I want free, won’t sleep, won’t dream, won’t eat, won’t breathe
Won’t give in to what’s building inside of me

Close my eyes tonight
My conscience by my side

Dedikasi untuk Muslimin – Una Palabra

-Nasyid ini saya dedikasikan untuk seluruh ummat ISLAM di dunia ini-

Una Palabra

This ain’t a story ’bout race, color or creed
It’s a story ’bout hate, envy and greed
Talk about ambitions but don’t want us to progress
Ya talk about assistance but all we get is the stress
U don?t really wanna see me grow
Hating on me choking on my flow
U say we rude, don’t like our attitude
We crude, ain’t got no gratitude
But I wasn’t born to be low, I was born to rise
Wasn’t born to pretend or keep my faith in disguise
Ain’t got no freedom of speech
No freedom to teach – make our kids out of reach
Wanna break ties – alienated in their own land
Running riot in the streets, day by day getting out of hand
U don’t want me to be an inspiration
U wanna blame me for agitation
How can u tell me ’bout participation
When all u really want is segregation

Una palabra no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo
Lo esconde todo
Como aquel viento que esconde el agua
Como las flores que esconde el lodo

[Translation:]
One word contains nothing
And at the same time
It contains everything
Like the air contains water
Like the flowers contain the mire

Is it my religion – u keep seeing as a threat
U think it’s all about – murder, violence and death
But do u care to find – find the truth
Or is it easier to keep fronting and oppressing our youth
Is this why I’m a be awestruck?
Damn these lies just make us stuck
Bow down to something greater
Nah forget that maybe later
Really must be joking, deceits and lies is all I see
Should I be your enemy or should I trust your lies
Should your treatment of my peeps make us forge them ties
Got to tell me the truth as it is
Or we’ll be keeping coming back right here to this
Second class citizen in my own home
Been 30 years gone – and still no dome, still gotta stay strong
Thinking I’m thick trying to sell me this hypocrisy
Heard it before, u must be kidding me!

Wanna dictate who I marry
And even what my sis? should wear
Then prevent her from a job
Stuck on welfare – seems
To provoke and oppress us is ok – seems
Racism is cool – despite what u say
Wanna blame us for ya shortcomings
Just want a scapegoat
Still seeing us like a problem
Like we just off the boat
Guess u wanted cheap labour to build ya home

Una palabra no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo
Lo esconde todo
Como aquel viento que esconde el agua
Como las flores que esconde el lodo

Una Mirada no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo
Lo dice todo
Como la lluvia sobre tu cara
O el Viejo mapa de algún tesoro

[Translation:]
One word contains nothing
And at the same time
It contains everything
Like the air contains water
Like the flowers contain the mire

One look contains nothing
And at the same time
It contains everything
Like the rain on your face
Or an old map leading you to some treasure

Where the next Abu Dharr at?
Where the next Khalid Ibn Walid aka Sayf-Allah at?
Tell us how we fuel this crime
Everyday statistics, everyday media – plenty of us doing time
Why should I take the blame or shame
When I know u just looking for someone to frame
My individual freedom; abused
Redicule of my deen, my beliefs, guess I be the new jew
I’ve become the new ni**a of the world
Product of your society, adopted your values in their entirety
Wasn’t born like this, I was made this way
U like it or not, player – I’m here to stay
We walk the same streets, breathe the same air
Add to this state, but do u even care?
Guess u gotta reciprocate
Want us to be people of faith or people of hate?
U got your deen, I got mine – okay?

ALLAH SWT juga berfirman di dalam Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 120

Dedikasi untuk Palestina – Look into My Eyes

-Nasyid ini saya dedikasikan kepada saudara-saudara saya di Palestina-

Look Into My Eyes

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see
You don’t see a damn thing ’cause you can’t relate to me
You’re blinded by our differences, my life makes no sense to you
I’m the persecuted one, you’re the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility, no fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude thanking God He let me rise
You worry about your education and the bills you have to pay
I worry about my vulnerable life and if I’ll survive another day
Your biggest fear is getting a ticket as you cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that has just left will turn around and come back

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has are world gone all blind?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me …

Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight
I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

See I’ve known terror for quite some time, 57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe, it’s the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land and the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father, the bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks, the gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door all due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself against the ways of my enemies
I’m terrorized in my own land (what) and I’m the terrorist?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has are world gone all blind?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me …

Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

Americans, do you realize that the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day
So if I won’t be here tomorrow, it’s written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day, the end of our wait

[pause]

Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

[with kids]
Ohh let’s not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters

That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears

You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you

Isam:
‘ayn jalut where david slew goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From crusaders and mongols
To the present aggression
Then the franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
Imagine what would they say

For me in this path that i walk on
There’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still i throw stones like david before me and i say

Chorus

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This i promise, i promise

Chorus

Lenny:
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust

Waqas:
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
And kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so i’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
So i can chase out the venom

Isam:
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
Imagine what would they say
For me in this path that i walk on
There’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still i throw stones like david before me and i say
