Lyrics

I wanna go where I'll be happy
Gardens where rivers flow eternally
I wanna go see endless promises
To those believers who walk His path
I'm but a stranger in a hostile world
And I cannot savor this line no more
Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim
Ya Al-Malik, Ya Quddus, Ya Salam
Ya Allah
Guide me to Jannah
I wanna go, be with Allah's beloved
Sit in His company, see Him smile
I wanna go, drink from the well of Kothar
The water for the purest, promised to Muhammad
I'm but a traveler on a hot summer's day
Resting under a tree, then went on my way
I wanna go, see my mother and father
Embrace them in my arms, whisper I love you so
I wanna go, see others I have lost
Hold them oh so close, say I missed you so
I came in this world just passing through
And I wanna travel just like Al-Mu'minun
Ya Aziz, Ya Jabbar, Ya Al-Khaliq, Ya Al-Bari
Ya Ghaffar, Ya Qahhar, Ya Allah
Guide me to Jannah
I wanna go, see our father Adam
His blessed brothers, all the prophets on it
I wanna go, see the righteous companions
Those who the Prophet loved, the best generation
I'm but a stranger in this hostile world
And I cannot savor this line no more
I wanna go, finally be at peace
No worries, no old age, blissful eternity
I wanna go, see my palace in Jannah
Shining silk, silver, gold, so beautiful forever
I'm but a traveler taking rest for a while
Soon will come a time, I'll say goodbye
Ya Sami, Ya Basir, Ya Khabir, Ya Azeem
Ya Ghafoor, Ya Shakoor, Ya Allah
Guide me to Jannah
I wanna go, for the ultimate blessing
Be with our Rahman, Allahu As-Salam
