Zain Bhikha - Forgive Me When I Whine Lyrics
And in my heart I wished that I was just as fairWhen suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have 2 legs to walk upon and the world is mine.I stopped to buy some candy; met a boy who had such charm.We talked, he seemed so happy, if I were late, it do no harm.And as I left, he said to me, 'Thank you, you've been so kind.It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see,' he said, 'I'm blind.'Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have 2 eyes to see the world and the world is mine.Later that day on my way, I saw a boy with eyes of blue.He watched the other children play; he did not know what to do.I stopped a moment, then I said, 'Why don't you join the others, dear?'He kept on looking straight ahead and then I knew he could not hearOh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have 2 ears to hear the world and world is mine.With legs to take me where I'd go.With eyes to see the sunset glow.With ears to hear what I'd knowOh the world is mineI stopped for a moment, just look how much I haveEverywhere, in all our lives, these are His signsOh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mineOh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
