O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
No good or evil ever befell
Without permission from Allah
Nor will anything further occur in life
Without Allah's command
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
Stop the grief and vain remorse
To open wounds that never heal
For what you did or didn't do
As divine wisdom had decreed for you
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
Whatever joy or sorrow you face
Is neither good luck or misfortune
But from your Lord a challenge
In how you deal with it all
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
Tie the camel, lock the door
Till the land and sow the seed
Be vigilant and take precaution
Then place your trust in Allah alone
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
For a true Muslim never plays the victim
But the hero and heroine in the story of life
Always grateful at times of cheer
Steadfast and patient in affliction and grief
And a victor or martyr in battle, and war
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
Never be egotistic and arrogant
Nor hopeless and weak in adversity
For these are ploys of the accursed devil
So be the saviour, and brave the storm
Like the soldier embraces death
But fights with might for victory
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
And if you wish to know, if Allah is pleased
Or displeased with you, at anytime
Then observe 'your' emotions on Allah
Closer to you, than your jugular vein,
Loving, Merciful, Generous and Kind
O silent traveller don't remain sad
Make peace with Allah in your fate
For Allah knows, and ye do not know
Now smile and strive, the journey enjoy
Til ye reach the sacred destination
