الشُّكْرُ

Intro

Yeah... check, check...

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ as a starting point,

If the breath is still there, the eyes still see the world,

Junaidi S Z let's go.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ... above everything else.

Chorus

الشُّكْرُ

شُكْرًا... أَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى صَدْرِي\

عَلَى نِعَمِكَ الَّتِي لَنْ تَنْفَدَ أَبَدًا

وَلَوْ هَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجُ الدُّنْيَا وَعَصَفَتْ بِي\

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَنْ أَنْسَى اسْمَكَ أَبَدًا

مِنْ لَيْلٍ مُظْلِمٍ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ\

هَذَا الشُّكْرُ مِنِّي... بَاقٍ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ

Verse 1

Yo, I wake in the morning, exhaling a borrowed breath—

Not by chance, but by the destiny ordained by God.

My eyes open to behold a spinning world;

I am still granted time to bow in prayer and seek forgiveness.

Sometimes I lose my way, chased by worldly shadows,

Forgetting the ultimate truth, drowning in the dreams of my own desires.

Yet Your mercy is vast, stretching out without an end;

Knock upon the door of my heart whenever it begins to feel hollow.

I recall the days when my pockets were empty, sharing a single tray of food,

Sleeping on a cold floor until the dead of night.

Now, my clothes have changed, and there is plenty to eat at the table—

May I never be ungrateful for these blessings, nor let my ego grow pampered and spoiled.

Every line in this rap is more than just idle talk;

It serves as a reminder for when my heart begins to waver.

From nothingness to existence—everything is merely a loan;

When one day we return to the earth, what is it that we shall take with us?

Chorus

الشُّكْرُ

شُكْرًا... أَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى صَدْرِي\

عَلَى نِعَمِكَ الَّتِي لَنْ تَنْفَدَ أَبَدًا

وَلَوْ هَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجُ الدُّنْيَا وَعَصَفَتْ بِي\

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَنْ أَنْسَى اسْمَكَ أَبَدًا

مِنْ لَيْلٍ مُظْلِمٍ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ\

هَذَا الشُّكْرُ مِنِّي... بَاقٍ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ

Verse 2

Uh, check it...

Once, I searched for a way out of a dark labyrinth;

Now the path is bright and clear—the way forward is in sight.

It’s not because I’m great, nor because I’m clever,

But because of a mother’s prayers—blessings that paved the way.

Hands raised high, forehead bowed low in prostration;

When abundance flows your way, share it—don’t be stingy!

Look left and right—so many others are being tested;

Some go hungry, their clothes in tatters, yet they still offer praise.

So, who am I to complain or wallow in misery?

When my blanket is still thick, and my home remains intact.

Wealth can be sought, status can change hands,

But true peace of heart—that is the real victory.

In every step I take, إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ, there lies a deeper wisdom;

Utter سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّٰهِ when struck by the wonder of His grace.

Keep your style sharp, but keep your heart humble,

For before the Almighty, we are all but His creations.

Bridge

When I fall... I remember who lifted me up

When I succeed... I remember who bestowed the blessings

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ

This humble soul is always longing...

Yeah... always longing.

Chorus

Outro

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ...

Keep it humble, keep it real.

Junaidi S Z

Thank You, O الله , for every breath I take.

My gratitude... shall never cease.
