Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [low vocal register][Arabic chanting] La ilaha illallah Rabbi ya Rabbi Fi qalbi sakhr kabeer Anta nur Anta tadbir [Verse 1] Master pointed at the mountain At a rough old stubborn stone Said "Servant Work that rock" Then he left me there alone Day one Pushed it with my shoulder Day ten Rope around my waist Every angle Every effort Sweat and dust across my face [Chorus] The rock The rock The rock still standing But I'm not who I used to be Thought the task was all about moving that stone Turns out the rock was working on me Challenges are blessings in disguise Cutting truth through my pride so clean Yeah The rock The rock The rock still standing But I'm stronger than I’ve ever been [Verse 2] Hammer Lever Pulled and pleaded Shouted at that silent wall Seasons changed and I got bitter "Why this weight Why at all?" Knees cracked I hit the gravel Said "Master Did I fail?" Then I heard his footsteps coming Soft as rain on rusted rail [Bridge] [whispered vocals] He said "Look at your hands now Look at your shaking knees Feel the patience in your breathing Feel the courage when you breathe" [low vocal register][Arabic chanting] Alhamdulillah ‘ala kulli hal Fi kulli shidda Fiha jalal [Chorus] [Outro] [guitar solo][crescendo] I keep my palms on the boulder Heart like a bell in my chest Every hard thing that I lean on Carves my name into my own flesh [soft Arabic chanting fading] Ya Sabur… Ya Sabur…

Chorus opens wide with gang vocals and sustained organ pads. Bridge strips back to voice-and-handclaps, then a soaring guitar lead answers the final chant., soft, blues
