Waiting For The Call - Irfan Makki

Miles away, oceans apart

Never in my sight, but always in my heart

The love is always there, it will never die

Only growing stronger, a tear rolls down my eye

I’m thinking all the time

When the day will come

Standing there before you

Accept this Hajj of mine

Standing in ihram, making my tawaf

Drinking blessings from Your well

The challenge of Safa and Marwa

Rekindles my imaan

O Allah!

I am waiting for the call

Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall

O Allah!

I am waiting for the call

Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall

I feel alive and I feel strong

I can feel Islam running through my veins

To see my Muslim brothers, their purpose all the same

Greeting one another, exalting one True Name

I truly hope one day, everyone will get the chance

To be blessed with the greatest honour

Of being called to Your Noble House

Standing in ihram making my tawaf,

Drinking blessings from Your well

The challenge of Safa and Marwa

Rekindles my imaan

O Allah!

I am waiting for the call

Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall

O Allah!

I am waiting for the call

Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall

Labbayka Allahumma labbayk (here I am, O Allah, here I am)

Labbayka la sharika laka labbayk (here I am, You have no partner. Here I am)

Yours)
