Lyrics
My Ummah, My Ummah, He will say, Rasool Allah on that day, even though we've strayed from him and his way. My brothers, my sisters in Islam, let's struggle and pray if we are to bring back the glory of his way. Ya Allah, Ya Rabb al-alamin, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Rabbi, let the Ummah rise again. Ya Allah, Ya Rabb al-alamin, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Rabbi, let the Ummah rise again. Let us unite again once again. Let's become whole again, proud again, because I swear with firm belief in our hearts we can bring back the glory of our past. My Ummah, My Ummah, He will say, Rasool Allah on that day, even though we've strayed from him and his way. Look at where we were, look at where we are, tell me, is this how he'd want it to be? Oh no, let's bring back our glory. Ya Allah, Ya Rabb al-alamin, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Rabbi, let the Ummah rise again. Ya Allah, Ya Rabb al-alamin, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Rabbi, let the Ummah rise again. Let us unite again once again.
