Verse 1:
In the ocean of the heart, where the waves softly call,
I surrender my soul, to the shaykh I give all.
With every breath, I fade, in his light I dissolve,
Fanaa fil shaykh, my ego’s resolve.
Chorus:
Oh, fanaa fil shaykh, my heart’s sacred plea,
In your love, I’m nothing, yet your light sets me free.
Guide me to the Divine, through your soul’s holy spark,
In your presence, my shaykh, I’m erased in the dark.
Verse 2:
Your words are my compass, your gaze is my guide,
In your will, O my shaykh, my desires all subside.
My self fades away, like a drop in the sea,
Through your love, O my shaykh, Allah’s light comes to me.
Chorus:
Oh, fanaa fil shaykh, my heart’s sacred plea,
In your love, I’m nothing, yet your light sets me free.
Guide me to the Divine, through your soul’s holy spark,
In your presence, my shaykh, I’m erased in the dark.
Bridge:
No will of my own, just your path I embrace,
In your shadow, I find Allah’s infinite grace.
With every step forward, my soul learns to soar,
Through your love, O my shaykh, I’m alive evermore.
Verse 3:
The Prophet’s sweet love, through your heart it does flow,
In your teachings, O shaykh, divine secrets I know.
Fanaa is my journey, your heart is my home,
In your guidance, I wander, yet never alone.
Chorus:
Oh, fanaa fil shaykh, my heart’s sacred plea,
In your love, I’m nothing, yet your light sets me free.
Guide me to the Divine, through your soul’s holy spark,
In your presence, my shaykh, I’m erased in the dark.
Outro:
Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, my soul softly sings,
To the shaykh, to the tariqa, my heart ever clings.
May Allah’s sweet blessings on this path always be,
Fanaa fil shaykh, forever my key.
