Yusuf Islam Bahtiyar song lyrics

I am as my servant thinks I am, I am with him when he makes mention of me, If he makes mention of me to himself, I will make mention of him to myself and if he makes mention of me in an assembly, i will make mention of him in an assembly better than he did, and if he draws near to me in an arms length, i will draw near to him in a farthers lenght, and if he comes to me walking I'll go to him at speed

Fortunate is he

Who remembers Allah abundantly

Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway

His thoughts of Allah and judgement day

Righteous is he

Who bows to One he cannot see

Whose deeds do not spring without Bismillah

Fulfilling his tasks with perfect Taqwa

Devout is he

Who supplicates to Allah intensively

Whose heart is merciful, tender and kind

His gaze on life after, this world behind

Prosperous is he

Who spends his wealth on the poor and needy

Who speaks a kind word to kin and neighbour

Ever-grateful for Allah's favours

Guided is he

Who prays Salah with punctuality

Early morning, Tahajjud he prays

For Allah's pleasure and nearness he craves

God fearing is he

Who contemplates death early

Who starts as he sees his demise

And tears fall over wasted sacrifice

Blessed is he

Who sings Allah's praises fervently

Blessed be all of Allah's slaves

Allah's mercy be with them always

Fortunate is he

Who remembers Allah abundantly

Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway

His thoughts of Allah and judgement day
