What Did I Do Today?

Munsyid : Dawud Wharnsby Ali
http://liriknasyid.com

Oh the moon has come, the day is done,
the night has covered up the sun,
I have stood so often before you to pray,
but I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I remember the words of Al-Fatihah?
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?
Did I call on you to guide my way?
Tell me what did I do today?

I have whispered to you as I made Ruku'
Subhana Rabeyyal Adheem.
But was my faith bright or grey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I smile at my brother?
Was I kind to my Mother?
Did I teach another something I know?
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me what did I do today?

Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.

Though I've bowed to you with my face in the dust,
Subhana Rabyyal a`la.
The blessings you give I could never repay.
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I use my time?
Did I use my mind?
If I search my heart what will I find?
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,
Tell me, what did I do today?
Oh Allah, Tell me what did I do today?

Lafaz yang tersimpan the video

On the previous..

Previously i posted the lyric of 'Lafaz yang tersimpan'

I hope i made others asked why.. "Why did Ashraf post it?"

Cos i don't post anything for the sake of posting it..

There're always the reasons why..

Why is it posted? Why is it there? Why this?

Let me share with my dearest brothers and sisters..

Firstly, i'm sorry if the lyrics is in malay..

For those who can read it and understand it.. Alhamdulillah..

Come let us dwell into the words that completed the lyrics..

At first sight or even for those of you have heard the song, u might think it's a lovey dovey emotional song about the cliche of an individual longing for his/her significant other. (This was my first reaction when i heard the song for the first time)
However, i invite u to read and internalize word by word just the way i did.. And u will realise something..

Upon immersing urself in the words, u'll realise the true meaning of the song.
It's not a love song for the couples but..
It's a song for our parents..
How sometimes we took their presence for granted..
When they are gone, then we'll grief and regret.. And we'll realise how much we need them.. Love them..

When we were children, we needed them for their guidance and moral support.. Without them we can't even do the basic things by ourselves..

But when we reach our youths and eventually becoming adults, when we seek for autonomy and our own identity, we slowly forget about their sacrifices and love for us..
How could us? or more likely how could i?

Just to share, the title "Lafaz yang tersimpan" means "Words that are kept"
And with this title it explains that when we love our parents, tell them and don't keep it till it's too late.. Cos when they're at their last breath and eventually their eyes shut, it's useless for us to tell them as they cannot hear us anymore.

Thus, let us not delay or keep those words of love and care from them.
Tell them and show them that we love them before it's too late.

Wallahu'alam bisawwab~
