My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life


And if I were to be what would I become without you

I live in comfort today because of your blessings

I remember your sadness, I remember your worry

You prayed for me all night, I recall those nights

You turned me into a flower and yourself into dust, you are the scent of spring breeze


My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life

Whenever I was sick, I remember the tears you shed

When I faced difficulties, I saw your heart ache

It is my responsibility to fulfill your every wish, but how will I ever fulfill this?

How will I go through life if, God forbid, you are not here by my side

God forbid, the day should come when I am here but you are no longer with me

My home is a heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of my life

From the moment I started crawling, you taught me about life

The fond memories I have sitting in your lap

When tears began to fill my eyes, your soul would fill with worry

In every pain and in every difficulty you are my strength


My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life

You raised me, you taught me every beautiful thing in life

If I am proud, it is because Allah made me your child

I will never hurt you, I will shed my blood for you

You enlightened me, you are the light in my path

My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life

Tell me- should I go up in smoke for you, or turn the world into smoke for you

I would sacrifice my wealth and gold for you, I would sacrifice my life for you

I will sacrifice my poetry and my existence for you

If it were permissible to worship you, then you would be my Ka’bah


My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life

If I compare you in the realm of beauty, you are more beautiful than anyone

Despite the hardships you face in life, people only recall your pampered past

You would not hesitate to spill your blood for me

You are worthy of every praise, you lack not a thing

My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life

If I wrote my whole life, I would never be able to finish your praise

Only a mother’s love is sweet, you will never find this love from a father

I pray that everyone gives you respect

God made you a miracle in my life

My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life


This poet would sacrifice himself for you

You are a great inspiration

 

My home is heaven because of you, you are my angel,

your life is an example for all to follow, you are the sustenance of life
