Translation of the song نور على نور artist Maher Zain
نور على نور
Light Upon Light
يا نور على نور
O light upon light
ازاي مهجور
How can you be abandoned
و انت البلسم لجراح و آلام
when you are the cure for every hurt and every pain?!
يا رسالة من المولى تعالى
You are a message from the Almighty Lord
محفوظة و عايشة مدى الأيام
that has been preserved and will remain forever
ازاي ناسيين و لا نقرا ياسين
How can we forget to recite (the chapter of) Yaseen?!
ماشيين في الدنيا كده ودايسين
Living our lives walking around forgetfully,
الكنز قصادنا و مش شايفين
without noticing the treasure that's right in front of us
مش بس كتاب ده دليل و طريق
It's not just a book, it's a guide and a path
و يحنّ عليك ساعة ما تضيق
that soothes your heart in times of distress
و في عزّ الوحدة بيبقى صديق
and when you're lonely it is your companion
يا نور على نور
O light upon light
ازاي مهجور
How can you be abandoned
و انت البلسم لجراح و آلام
when you are the cure for every hurt and every pain?!
يا رسالة من المولى تعالى
You are a message from the Almighty Lord
محفوظة و عايشة مدى الأيام
that has been preserved and will remain forever
أنا آية الكرسي بتحميني
Ayat al-Kursi protects me,
و تقرّبني و ترقّيني
and brings me closer to Allah and elevates my rank
اقرأ المزّمل ألاقيني
When I read al-Muzzammil I find that
دُنيتي في القرآن ده و ديني
my life and faith lie within this Book
النّور حواليّا هنا و جنبي
The light is all around me and right here beside me
وانا ليه ببعد كده عن ربي
So why do I stray away from my Lord?
ده مِداد كلماته مَدد قلبي
For His words nourish my heart,
و بكون مجروح و بيشفيني
and heal my wounds when I am hurt
يا نور على نور
O light upon light
ازاي مهجور
How can you be abandoned
و انت البلسم لجراح و آلام
when you are the cure for every hurt and every pain?!
يا رسالة من المولى تعالى
You are a message from the Almighty Lord
محفوظة و عايشة مدى الأيام
that has been preserved and will remain forever
