Yusuf Islam - 'Seal of The Prophet'
He was a guide for all people
And the mercy to the universe
He was a guide for all people
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a seal of the prophet
The last brick in the house of prophethood
He was the last of the prophets
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a patron of the poor
Always helping widows and orphans
A great patron of the poor
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a striver against evil
And he fought and he won
To give rights all people
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a stranger to this world
For his aim was the hereafter
He kept little for this world
God's peace and blessings on him
And the mercy to the universe
He was a guide for all people
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a seal of the prophet
The last brick in the house of prophethood
He was the last of the prophets
God's peace and blessings on him
He was a patron of the poor
Always helping widows and orphans
A great patron of the poor
God's peace and blessings on him

And he fought and he won
To give rights all people

For his aim was the hereafter
He kept little for this world
God's peace and blessings on him
Yusuf Islam - 'Five Pillars'
Our guide is the Qur’an
Our Religion is Islam
Five Noble Pillars upholding what is virtuous
To make the Testimony is the base of the Faith,
And the Fast, and the Prayer, the Pilgrimage and Charity

Yusuf Islam - 'God is the Light'
How great the wonder of the heavens
And the timeless beauty of the night
How Great, then how Great, the Creator?
And its stars like priceless jewels
Far beyond the reach of kings
Bow down for the shepherd guiding him home
Yet how many hearts are closed?
To the wonder of this night
Like pearls hidden deep
Beneath a dark stream of desires
But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer
And the dawn extinguishes night
Here too, are signs
God is the Light!
God is the Light!
How great the beauty of the Earth
And the creatures who dwell on her
How Great, then how Great, the Creator?
As its mountains pierce the clouds
High above the lives of men
Weeping rivers for thousands of years
Yet how many eyes are closed?
To the wonder of this sight
Like birds in a cage
Asleep with closed wings
But like words stop with the call to prayer
And the birds recite
Here too, are signs
God is the Light!
God is the Light!
How great the works of man
And the things he makes
How Great, then how Great, the Creator?
And though he strives to reach the heavens
He can barely survive
The wars of the world he lives in
Yet how many times he's tried?
Himself to immortalize
Like his parents before him
In the Garden of Eden
But like the sun sets with the call to prayer
And surrenders to the night
Here too, are signs
God is the Light Everlasting!
God is the Light Everlasting!
God is the Light Everlasting!
God is the Light Everlasting!
And the timeless beauty of the night
How Great, then how Great, the Creator?
And its stars like priceless jewels
Far beyond the reach of kings
Bow down for the shepherd guiding him home
Yet how many hearts are closed?
To the wonder of this night
Like pearls hidden deep
Beneath a dark stream of desires
But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer
And the dawn extinguishes night

Yusuf Islam - 'The Wind'
I listen to the Wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I end up where I think
Only God really Knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never never never
I never wanted water once
No never never never
I listen to my words
But they fall far below
I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go
I've swam upon the devil's lake
But never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No never never never
To the wind of my soul
Where I end up where I think
Only God really Knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never never never
I never wanted water once
No never never never
I listen to my words
But they fall far below
I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go
I've swam upon the devil's lake
But never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No never never never

The Zikr - 'Di Sinilah Kita'
Di sinilah kita merancang dan bertindak
Memerah fikiran dan melerai masalah
Namun kita tetap manusia
Tenaga kita tak kemana
Fikiran kita ada ada batasannya
Tindakan kita ada sempadanya
Di sinilah kita berfikir dan bekerja
Namun kita tetap lemah
Hanya bersandar pada Tuhan
Kita pastinya akan gagah
Selagi kita terasa lemah
Selama kita tunduk dan menyerah
Pada kehendak dan qudratNYA
Memerah fikiran dan melerai masalah
Namun kita tetap manusia
Tenaga kita tak kemana
Fikiran kita ada ada batasannya
Tindakan kita ada sempadanya
Di sinilah kita berfikir dan bekerja
Namun kita tetap lemah
Hanya bersandar pada Tuhan
Kita pastinya akan gagah
Selagi kita terasa lemah
Selama kita tunduk dan menyerah
Pada kehendak dan qudratNYA
