Those of you who understand Arabic...

[UmmeGibrel]

The Following link contains some Nasheeds of Ahmed Bukhatir:

http://islam-globe.com/Nasheeds_AhmedBukhatir.html

I need to know what each of these nasheeds are about...i got the lyrics of some of them from the other thread, but i need more translations...
Any One?

[UmmeGibrel]

don't tell me there are no sisters or brothers here who understand arabic...

[abuhajira]

I think it would be easier and more beneficial that you post the lyric of one nasheed at a time and then perhaps we can summarize..

[Jamaluddine]

Assalamu alaikum,

The book of Allah (KetabAllah)

This Koran unites us
It guides us to the path of goodness

Almighty Allah revealed it
And his prophet is our teacher

This Koran is the guide for our grandfathers and grandsons
It motivates to knowledge and work
Nothing except it edifies us

It’s the book of Allah
Nothing except it edifies us
Let us follow it

It’s the greatest miracle of Allah
It tells us about the secret of universe

All mighty Allah revealed it
And his prophet is our teacher
Let us follow its rules
Let’s go on Arab




The Veil (Al Hejab)

Let them say about my veil
That it’s killing my youth

Let them exaggerate in blaming me
I belong to Religion

No, I swear I would never care
My firm will is like the mountain

Beauty has no meaning
If it is easy to get

They tried to deceive me
I shouted at them to leave me

I will remain in my decency
I will never accept impudence

They will never affect my pride
I am the symbol of purity

I walk in the light of piety
Behind the best prophet

I have a proud soul
That rejects lowliness

In my path, brother
Sumayyah* is the example to follow

I am guided by Religion
Our source is pure, sister

Our path is a path of chastity
Follow it without fears

Our Religion is symbol of virtue
It never accepts vice

You are the respectable daughter of Religion
You are the descendant of notables

By my veil and decency
I impose my self-respect

I will go ahead
And never care about blames

[* Sumayyah Radhiallahu anha was a great Sahabiyyah (Companion), the story of her Martydom under torture is well worth reading about here: http://oum_abdulaziz.tripod.com/famous9.htm ]



Advance (Fartaqi)

Advance in goodness and rise to the horizon
Sublimity wanted from Muslims
You are the symbol of pearls and glories
Abandon the mud and rise to the sky
You will never see a night without a star
Run up the flags and go ahead
Light the lamp and be determined
Overcome the terrors however dark they are
Always advance by your firm will
Be a mole and symbol for people
Who seeks glory and sheds tears
Under the cover of dark night
Or raises dust in the enemy’s face
Heaven has perfect magic
Always advance by your firm will
And be like mole and inspirational symbol for people



How strange (Ajaban)

How strange is man’s carelessness
He passed through life with pride and peace
I thought of life it became my home
Like some passengers homes
The comfort of people union in it is one
Its littleness and plenty are the same
Till when is my endurance?
As if I were underground and then blessed with two fellows
I want multiply of more and more
If I confined my self to what’s little, it would have been enough
How good parents are
As if I am displeased with my place by being close to them
Worries prepare me to the world
Searching for my dignity in disgrace
Denying me if the moist earth was piled up over me
Hide and deserted me



The world of pride (Dar al ghoroor)

Isn’t everything is forthcoming,
And everyone has his own destiny on earth
People like to live long lives but death is creeping to them
Time is a witness on people, between distracted and pointed arrow
Many people we saw passing away
They all went to an embracing hole
Where the dear ones are safe
He is always deficient
One day he is young and another he grows old
Doesn’t man wander at himself as it ages
If you find fault with something, Don’t do it

Leave what you suspect for what is not suspicious
Are you deceived with a bright day, a dark night or a setting sun
Don’t think that it is a world of pride
Don’t you get that you are stranger in it




The student (Talib al-ilm)

By Knowledge, rather by morals
You achieve the highest ranks
Live scholars lives
And read varieties of books

Be always humble
Don’t boast of your ancestry
It’s enough to come out the realm of mankind with noble descent

Yes, yes but I am without a mother or a father
I aspire to sublimity
And I do not have money to satisfy my needs

Who will ever embrace me and grant me
I wish I have the position of the star
And to be a scholar
As knowledge is the heritage of the prophet

Oh! Brothers I entrusted you
You are the rest of Arabs
Support a student who are asking

Provide him with what he needs
Yes, is there anything better than
Teaching a boy




Many you complain (Kam Tashtaki)

Many you complain and say that you are poor
While you own the earth, the sky and the stars
The fields with their flowers, fragrances, the breeze and
The singing nightingale are all yours
Water is all around you like sparkling silver
Sun is above you like burning gold
The light builds and sometimes destroys embellishing pearls
On foots and at the tops
The world received you so cheerfully
So why are you gloomy
And it smiled for you
So why don’t you smile
If you are depressed for past glory
How far it will return by sighs
If you are afraid from befalling misfortunes
How far it will be prevented by gloom
Or if you have passed your youth
Don’t say time became old
As time does not age
Look still appearing from moist earth
So beautiful pictures that they would almost speak

Jerusalem is calling us (Al Qudsu Na Deena)

Jerusalem, you are our hope
Jerusalem will return to our nation

We will purify your virgin ground
And will run up on you our flags

Have patience sons of Palestine
Allah will relieve our agonies

Jerusalem will return to be our home
And will return to be our country

The dark night will never come
Except the dawn follows it with its brightness




Ramadan

Ramadan has came and fasting has begun
Bringing joy to everyone (family and friends)
I wish it was (like this) all the time

Glorifying Allah, pious, submissive
Muslims, faithful and worshipping Allah


Our month is that of fasting, deliverance (from Hell fire) and honest piety
Our day is that of patience with kindness to the tears of the needy

It’s the body of reformation
It is prevention from obscenity
It paves the way for forgiveness, its morals is a dressing purity
My brother in Islam
Don’t kill your sound heart

And avail of Ramadan, the month of benevolence
As long as you are living.


Oh who see! (Ya Man Yara)

Oh! who see the mosquito spread its wings
In the darkness of the black night

And see its vein in its upper chest
And the brain in these thin bones

And see blood running in its jugular vein
Moving from one joint to another

Forgive me
For what I have previously done

And see the embryo nurturing inside it
In the darkness of its innards without looking

And see its footsteps
In its quick and rushing movements

And see and hears other beings
In the bottom of the dark and huge sea

Forgive me
For what I have previously done




Oh Eid! (Ya Eid)

Oh Eid! you are a gift from our creator God
You excite in us the joy of eager
You bring us together with our relatives and friends
You overwhelm us with mercy like a streaming well
It’s our habit to visit people so kindly
No hatred, no bitter feeling, no arrogance at all
Getting up by your greatening the generous and every disobedient
And the couple may return hugging
The disputers may reconcile
And the children joy, many fly into the horizon!
Overwhelmed by happiness at home and the markets
The children and the adult are in such a race
Joyful with what is like the kohl in the eyes
Seizing a tasty opportunity
May Allah maintain their happiness
And make us always meet
Do not separate us as separation is bitter




Oh Most Magnificent! (Ya Adeeman)

My soul is brightened by a light in my heart
When I praised God of mankind
And my soul is cheered up and the tears were flowing
Oh God! guide my heart to reason
In the tranquility of the night I pray during worshiping
While the black darkness is all around me
Oh Kind! Oh Most Merciful! Oh Most Forbearing!
Oh Kind! Your gifts are endless
Oh All-Hearing! Oh Answerer! Oh Most Magnificent!
Oh Creator of the strong predatory animals! Guide me
Guide me to truth, God
I depend on your guidance today
Oh God of the universe! you are my aid
You are the refuge of man in the afterworld
Here I am God, asking your forgiveness
Forgive me and grant me my wish



Long Longing (Taweel As Shawq)

A Longing person remains in alienation
He has no friends in life
Who trust the world of misfortunes
You trample on fellows in the dust
I wonder at the one who wants you while he knows
That you are the strangest of creation
Except for the beautiful meaning that I have
I would not have stayed in it
I found Allah, God of the Universe
All the creatures love him
There are many evidences that he is the One
Despite the false arguments
Contemplate on the Most Merciful abilities
You will be guided to truth
Look everywhere
Your question will be answered
Shift from earth shades
Do not ever be deceived by mirage
Stand on the graves, it’s a memory
That you will thank and then you will forget
Recite tones of Koran
Reward will keep you away from punishment
Follow a guide wise prophet
Rays of wisdom from everywhere


Zayed the Benevolent (Zayed Al Wafaa')

May your day for the nation be of sincerity!
May your love for earth be lasting!
You are like a pen that expresses us
You built glory like strong mountains
You inspired the nation to be benevolent
May you have a long life as you achieved the nation’s wishes
Zayed the benevolent, ask about him in the north,
South, highlands and lowlands
You unite people, since we have known you
You love all people not individuals
Through the gulf and oceans they’ve known Zayed
They have known Zayed for his spreading generosity
For all the glory we had
Without you we would have never been united


Wassalam
