Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me
****
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you
****
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you
****
Ummahu, ummahu, ya ummi
wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi
Ummuka, ummuka, ummuka ummuka
Qawlu rasulika
Fi qalbi, fi hulumi
Anti ma’i ya ummi
Mother… Mother… O my mother
How I long to see O mother
“Your mother, Your mother, Your mother”
Is the saying of your Prophet
In my heart, in my dreams
You are always with me mother
****
Ruhti wa taraktini
Ya nura ‘aynayya
Ya unsa layli
Ruhti wa taraktini
Man siwaki yahdhununi
Man siwaki yasturuni
Man siwaki yahrusuni
‘Afwaki ummi
Samihini…
You went and left me
O light of my eyes
O comfort of my nights
You went and left me
Who, other than you, will embrace me?
Who, other than you, will cover me?
Who, other than you, will guard over me?
Your pardon mother, forgive me
Turkish:
Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim
Sensiz ana
Senin kadrini hiç bilemedim ben
Aziz ana
****
Resul buyurdu;
Cennet anaların ayakları altında
Senin hayalin aklımda,
Ruhumda, rüyalarımda
****
Sen gittiğinde canım gitti,
Ayrılık bir yaman dertti,
Dünya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam
****
Ağlarım ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin şarkı gibi,
Günahlarım derin derin
Hakkını helal et ana
****
To whom will I tell my sorrow
in your absence, mother?
I didn’t know your real value, my beloved mother
****
The Messenger (pbuh) said
“Paradise is under the mothers’ feet”
Your image is in my heart, my soul, and my dreams
****
When you left, my soul left
Our separation was painful
The world gave me pain
and sorrow my beloved mother
****
I cry like a cloud
You are like a song on my tongue
I’ve wronged you countless times
Forgive me mother
