Lyrics

There was so much on my mind, in my bed I lay
I turned to my side and I heard a voice say
'Stop all your whining, heart rate's declining
You've got so much more than most
Look how you're sleeping, how much you've eaten
Don't you know that you're supposed to say

[Chorus: Zain Bhikha, Zain Bhikha, Ncwenga Singers & Imaan (2)]
"Sabr and shukr are wonderful things (Sabr, shukr)
The praises to Allah (praise Allah) we should always sing
When things go right, it's from Him, not me
And when they are wrong we get through patiently"'

[Verse 2: Zain Bhikha & Ncwenga Singers & Imaan (2)]
I got out of bed, began to walk
Bumped into some folks and we started to talk
Did you hear about the killing, the bloodshed, thе stealing? (Did you hear?)
The grass got burnеd on the other side
Soldiers are coming, people are running
All that's left is the orphan child (Orphan child)

[Chorus: Zain Bhikha, Zain Bhikha, Ncwenga Singers & Imaan (2)]
Sabr and shukr are wonderful things (Sabr, shukr)
The praises to Allah (praise Allah) we should always sing
When things go right, it's from Him, not me
And when they are wrong we get through patiently

[Verse 2]
Everything that's happening around me (Around me)
What seemed half empty now seems so full
There's no use crying over what's been spilled
While babies are dying, mothers are crying
Their containers have never, ever been filled

[Bridge: Zain Bhikha, Zain Bhikha & Imaan (2)]
إِنَّ ٱللَهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ (Sabr and shukr are wonderful things, sabr and shukr are wonderful things)
إِنَّ ٱللَهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ (Sabr and shukr are wonderful things, sabr and shukr are wonderful things)
إِنَّ ٱللَهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ (Sabr and shukr are wonderful things, sabr and shukr are wonderful things)
I opened my eyes, began to see
Everything that's happening around me

[Outro: Zain Bhikha, Zain Bhikha, Ncwenga Singers & Imaan (2)]
Sabr and shukr are wonderful things (Sabr, shukr)
The praises to Allah (praise Allah) we should always sing
Sabr and shukr are wonderful things (Sabr, shukr)
The praises to Allah (praise Allah) we should always sing
Sabr and shukr are wonderful things (Sabr, shukr)
The praises to Allah (praise Allah) we should always sing
When things go right, it's from Him, not me
And when they are wrong we get through patiently
