  2. Jannah/ Paradise Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where the sun never sets And darkness doesn't fall In the gardens of bliss Where saffron is grass Where the rivers flow Of milk and honey Water and wine Awaiting the beckoning By the staff in your hand Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where are mountains of musk With valleys of rubies and pearls And trees without thorns That bend down to serve Where flowers and fruit Are piled upon pile And where the leaves rustle To the fragrant breeze Melodiously enchanting, the dwellers within         Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where the gates are eight For the actions on earth Where palaces are made Of silver and gold And others of a single pearl And many decorated With diamonds and emeralds And garnets and rubies Where the thrones are raised And couches adorned Where everyone smiles And never grows old Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where there is no argument or pain Nor calamity sorrow or death Where no one cries or sheds a tear Where there are beautiful companions With lustrous eyes And pearl like boys that never grow Where the angels bring gifts, and salaam and salaam In the home of peace, rest and reward And when you will gaze, upon the LORD most high And when you will gaze, upon the LORD most high Only then will you understand And only then will you understand

  3. 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
