Oh Mother, I Love You!

I love to listen to all nasyids sang by Ahmed Bukhatir. Full of meanings and blended with very soothing and touching melody. Below is the translation of his nasyid "I Am Going To Return Oh Mother". Hopefully the translation will help you to have the "feel" while listening to the video clip I have embeded in this blog.


I am going to return oh Mother
And kiss your scented head
I will express all my eagerness
And test the scent of your blessings of your right hand
I will put my cheek on the dust of your feet when I meet you
The soil will be irrigated by my tears of happiness when seeing you.

I am going to return oh Mother
And kiss your scented head
I will express all my eagerness
And test the scent of your blessings of your right hand
I will put my cheek on the dust of your feet when I meet you
The soil will be irrigated by my tears of happiness when seeing you.

Oh, how many nights you stayed awake
To let me sleep deeply
And oh, how long you stayed thirsty
So you could quench my thirst by your kindness

And one day, I was ill, I do not forget,
The tears from you, that were like the rain
And you could could not close your eyes to sleep
Fearing a danger might happen to me.

And our farewell day at dawn
And oh what a hardest dawn that was
I can’t describe what
You have faced because of my migration
And you told me things which I still
Remember throughout my life that
It is impossible to find a heart kinder than yours.

I am going to return oh Mother
And kiss your scented head
I will express all my eagerness
And test the scent of your blessings of your right hand
I will put my cheek on the dust of your feet when I meet you
The soil will be irrigated by my tears of happiness when seeing you.

Obedience to you, oh want of my life
(Is what) the God of Existence has instructed me to do
Your content is the secret of my success.
Obedience to you, oh want of my life
(Is what) the God of Existence has instructed me to do
Your content is the secret of my success.

And your love is glimpse of my faith
And your honest blessings
Has relieved my hardship and sorrows
No human being shares your love with me
You are pulse of my heart
And you are lights of my sight
and you are melody on my lips
My sorrow clears up, when your face comes up
I am returning to you oh Mother
To have a rest from travel
Then my second age begins.
And the tree branches will blossom with flowers

I am returning to you oh Mother
To have a rest from travel
Then my second age begins.
And the tree branches will blossom with flowers

I am going to return oh Mother
And kiss your scented head
I will express all my eagerness
And test the scent of your blessings of your right hand
I will put my cheek on the dust of your feet when I meet you....

Let us pray for our mothers' happiness. May Allah bless them all.
