Where are you now, O Muslim Ummah?

When the doors were broken, and the men were taken,
You were there O Muslim Ummah.
When the walls had ears, and the roads had eyes,
You were there O Muslim Ummah

When the days went by, and I shed some tears
You were there O Muslim Ummah.
As the days came closer,
You were there O Muslim Ummah

When it started, and we were parted,
You were there O Muslim Ummah.
In times of need and in times of hardship,
You were there O Muslim Ummah

But where are you now O Muslim Ummah?

As the days pass by, and turn into night,
Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

When I shed a tear, alone in fear,
Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

When I lay in silence, alone in the dark,
Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

When I need a hand, a helping hand,
Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

When you need something, I come running,
To please my Lord, ever-so caring.

But where are you, when I need you,
O Muslim Ummah?

I’ve so many friends I should call my own,
Yet deep down I know,
I’m all alone

Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

Many are those in need of help,
From the ill, to the healthy
And even the wealthy.

But where are you O Muslim Ummah?

I differ from those, because I’m all alone
With no-one’s help, but Allah’s alone.

Where are you O Muslim Ummah?

Forget not your obligation,
To the family of the aseer
Don’t let them hold you accountable
For something that was so clear.
When they called to Mu’tasima,
The impact was great
I do not ask for that
But I sit and wait

To see you fulfil
What is obliged upon you
When all I see
Is what is recommended upon you

Do not forget us, nor neglect us
O Muslim Ummah
Do not forsake us

Its easy to help those that are nearby to us
Out of ease, and lack of hardship
But they have others who can help them
Yet we have none, but Allah al-Kareem

So where are you now, O Muslim Ummah?
