People's Eyes by Yusuf Alayoub / Abdullah Almahdawi/Muhammad Aloud | عيون الناس للمنشد يوسف الأيوب / عبدالله المهداوي / محمد العود

A short nasheed of a beautiful old poem. The author of this poem is unknown.

Some says it was written by Ali bin AbiTalib (r.a).

There are many versions of this nasheed but my favorite is Yousuf  Alayoub's version. 

جَهَلَت عيونُ الناسِ ما في داخلي

People's eyes don't know what I feel inside
فوجدتُ ربّي بالفؤادِ بصيرا

Only you, My Lord can see my heart
يا أيّها الحزنُ المسافرُ في دمي

Oh Sadness, that travels (runs) with my blood
دعني, فقلبي لن يكون أسيرا

Release me, my heart won't be your captive
ربّي معي, فمَنْ الذي أخشى إذا

 If my god is with me whom then shall I fear
  مادام ربّي يُحسِنُ التدبيرا
My Lord knows how to direct my affairs
وهو الذي قد قال في قرآنه:

He who said in his Quran :
"وكفى بربّك هاديًا ونصيرا"

Allah is sufficient as a guide and a helper"* "
