Sami Yusuf Forgotten Promises
Tonight the world will sleep
But hunger will not wait
For promises we made
We share one soul
We share one land
We have one time to understand
We are one humankind
Brothers side by side
We'll have no regret
We will not forget
We are one humankind
Sisters side by side
We'll have no regret
We will not forget
Samihna ya allah
Forgive us o lord
Wa irrhamna ya rabbah
Have mercy on us o lord
Wa imnah rizqaka lil-afwah
Give your bounty to the mouths
Wa abi'd anha kul al-aah
And keep away from them all the moans and groans
Our words must count
Hunger will not wait
For promises we made
We share one soul
We share one land
We have one time to understand
We are one humankind
Brothers side by side
We'll have no regret
We will not forget
We are one humankind
Sisters side by side
We'll have no regret
We will not forget
Samihna ya allah
Forgive us o lord
Wa irrhamna ya rabbah
Have mercy on us o lord
Wa imnah rizqaka lil-afwah
Give your bounty to the mouths
Wa abi'd anha kul al-aah
And keep away from them all the moans and groans
Our words must count
Hunger will not wait
For promises we made
