Fades Away...

After much thought, Aadil and I've decided to unleash a song we once made to the world.

So here it is. Listen to it, do, and leave your comments.

[Edit: Aadil proposed an easier link. Here it is.]

LYRICS

seen a warrior’s burst of rage
seen a martyr’s life outgrow his age
seen vile in great men
seen beauty in false women
seen rivals of a genius
seen tyrants hailed among us
seen the envy of a friend
seen love draw its own end

Seen a rainbow fade when it should stay
seen a summer wait for the next may
seen a leave wither from its youth
seen weathers play with our moods

seen a victim plead for his right
seen a culprit with his last lie
seen guilty hands turn to pray
seen aggression overwhelmed by grace

But the world just doesn’t run on grace
In the crowd, you’re just another face
when you’re gone, you dont ever leave a trace

seen faith take hold of our reason
seen wisdom go out of season
seen hatred for a chosen prophet
seen sacrifices with regret

seen ironies turn to the truth
seen lies bearing the fruits
seen impact of just a thought
seen actions ending with naught

But the world just doesn’t run on grace
In the crowd, you’re just another face
when you’re gone, you dont ever leave a trace

seen voices live longer than singers
seen a maestro play with bleeding fingers
seen life in a dead man’s painting
seen victors go down fainting

But the world just doesn’t run on grace
In the crowd, you’re just another face
when you’re gone, you dont ever leave a trace

Like a whistle it fades away (Chorus repeat)

Assalamu Alaikum bhaion,

Yaar Shakir is busier than a bee in bear country and hardly liftofies. But yes we should definitely meet up asap Insha-Allah heh. It would be a finger-waggingly, toru experience....

Aadil bhai nothing like that at all! Your blog is one of the more thought-provoking ones that I read. Unfortunately you write extremely lengthy posts LOL and I can't really read them all but I do skim through almost all of them. Masha-Allah I think it's great that you're still writing. Although I do disagree with you every now and then but it is mostly on semantics and niggles here and there amid the ocean of generalized awesomeness that is your work heh. However, your most recent post is scarily promoting what sounds like wahdatul wujood and the idea that Allah (AWJ) is everything and everywhere etc. but, like I said, I've barely read a couple of paragraphs heh :)

Fi Amanillah

Wassalamu Alaikum
