Wings against my window

are they birds or are they angels,

waking me for worship

at fajr, before dawn?

Wings against my window

are they birds or are they angels,

singing me from slumber?

soon night will be gone.



I hear sparrows whistle

making the adhan.

I hear their words telling me I am a lazy man

`Come fast to pray`, they say,

`You will find success that way.

Stand up now from where you lay.

This is the best time of the day`



Wings against my window

Are they birds or are they angels,

waking me for worship

at fajr, before dawn?

Wings against my window

are they birds or are they angels,

singing me from slumber?

soon night will be gone.



My heart, it wants to wake up

my body wants to sleep.

The morning air is brisk and cool

my bed is warm and deep.

Birds, they call me to the way,

`Stand before Allah to pray!

Kiss the dawn and greet the day!`

But dreams, they just get in the way.



Wings against my window

are they birds or are they angels,

waking me for worship

at fajr, before dawn?

Wings against my window

are they birds or are they angels,

singing me from slumber?

soon night will be gone.
