Duet with M. Nasir & Al-Jawaher (1982)

M. Nasir:

My affairs are not yet settled

Till I have found His Light

All I desire on this journey

Is that you send along the Fatihah for me

Al-Jawaher:

Listen to my voice calling you

Like a song

Know that this journey has nearly reached its end

Deliver my intention

Unto the righteous

(O Friend)

Tell them how I long to be with them

Begging the Good Pleasure of the Lord

Together:

I beg His Good Pleasure

(repeat to fade)

Original Lyrics.

M.Nasir :

Urusanku belum selesai selagi

Belum ku temui sinarnya

Hendaknya dalam perjalanan ini

Kau bekalkan ku Al-Fatehah

Al-Jawaher :

Dengarlah suara memanggil

Bagai bersenandung

Sedarlah perjalanan ini hampir tamat

Sampaikan hasratku pada mereka

Yang soleh

Oh teman

Katakan ku ingin bersama mereka

memohon keredhaannya

Duet :

Aku pohon keredhaannya
