Syed Mujtahid - La Ilaha Illa Anta

[Verse 1]

In the hush before the dawn, when the stars still guard the skies,

Every leaf that holds the dew is whispering Your Name.

You paint the dark with morning gold, You hush the night’s goodbyes —

In every breath You are near, and my heart is set aflame.

[Pre-Chorus]

I was empty, I was broken, like a vessel turned to dust;

You filled me with Your mercy, raised me higher than the rust.

[Chorus – all]

So I praise You, I praise You,

Every beat of my heart is a peace of la ilaha illa Anta.

I praise You, I praise You,

Till the world fades away and Your Light is all I see. (Uuh)

[Verse 2]

In the laughter of a child, in the widow’s quiet prayer,

In the ocean’s endless roll, Your signs are everywhere.

You mend the wounded, guide the lost, You answer every call —

In every breath You are near, You are the Keeper of us all.

[Pre-Chorus]

I was empty, I was broken, like a vessel turned to dust;

You filled me with Your mercy, raised me higher than the rust.

[Chorus – all]

So I praise You, I praise You,

Every beat of my heart is a peace of la ilaha illa Anta.

I praise You, I praise You,

Till the world fades away and Your Light is all I see. (Uuh)

[Bridge – half-time, reflective]

If the mountains were to crumble, if the seas should turn to flame,

Still my tongue would find Your praises, still my soul would speak Your Name.

Ya Rahman, ya Rahim, in You I rise, in You I remain.

[Chorus - All]

So I praise You, I praise You,

Every beat of my heart is a peace of la ilaha illa Anta.

I praise You, I praise You,

Till the world fades away and Your Light is all I see.

So I praise You, I praise You,

Every beat of my heart is a peace of la ilaha illa Anta.

I praise You, I praise You,

Till the world fades away and Your Light is all I see. (Uuh)

(Outro)

I praise you
