Sami Yusuf
My Ummah
[Verse 1]
"My ummah, my ummah," he will say
Rasoolullah, on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to bring back the glory of his way

[Chorus]
Ya Allah, ya rabbal ‘aalameen
Ya rahmaanu, ya raheem
Ya rabbi
Let the ummah rise again
Ya Allah, ya rabbal ‘aalameen
Ya rahmaanu, ya raheem
Ya rabbi
Let the ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again

[Bridge]
Let’s become whole again
Proud again
’Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past
[Verse 2]
"My ummah, my ummah," he will say
Rasoolullah, on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way
Look at where we were
Look at where we are, and tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no - let's bring back our glory

[Chorus]
Ya Allah, ya rabbal ‘aalameen
Ya rahmaanu, ya raheem
Ya rabbi
Let the ummah rise again
Ya Allah, ya rabbal ‘aalameen
Ya rahmaanu, ya raheem
Ya rabbi
Let the ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again
