Zain Bhikha Forgive Me When I Whine
Today, upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair,
And in my heart I wished that I was just as fair
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down
the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a
smile.
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs to walk upon and the world is mine.
I stopped to buy some candy; met a boy who had such
charm.
We talked, he seemed so happy, if I were late, it do no
harm.
And as I left, he said to me, 'Thank you, you've been
so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see,' he
said, 'I'm blind.'
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes to see the world and the world is mine.
Later that day on my way, I saw a boy with eyes of
blue.
He watched the other children play; he did not know
what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said, 'Why don't you join
the others, dear?'
He kept on looking straight ahead and then I knew he
could not hear
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears to hear the world and world is mine.
With legs to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know
Oh the world is mine
I stopped for a moment, just look how much I have
Everywhere, in all our lives, these are His signs
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
