Lyrics

Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake! Azrael's intention is your soul to take. Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake!

This world is not your home, soon it melts away. Even were all seven climes under your sway, Throne and dominion and glory pass away. Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake!

Where is Murad, your slave, O Hissin, the ray? Forget my errors and all my burdens, Raise! Raise me in the shade of Ahmad's flag of praise. Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake!

Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Azrael's intention is your soul to take. Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake!

Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Long you have slumbered, so now my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake! Wake from your heedlessness, O my eyes awake!
