As I pack my belongings..... and get ready for this great Journey I cry with gratitude.....once more You've blessed me Tears flowing.....in ecstasy my heart flies My soul sings....my whole being cries Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik But what are these words..... what do they really mean? Do I appreciate them?...Do I just repeat what I've seen? Do I really understand....? Do I even comprehend.... Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik? Labbaik means I am here, Ya Rabbee.....I respond to Your call With a heart full of hope....for that Mercy that envelops all I'm here to serve You......I'm here to comply To You I submit......until the day I die Labbaik......Allaahumma Labbaik Labbaik means total devotion.....submission to Allaah Almighty Labbaik means sincere obedience and commitment completely Labbaik means surrender .....for now and for ever Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik Labbaik means I'm sorry.....so sorry for all my past Sorry for my mistakes and my shortcomings of last I beg You, ya Allaah.....please forgive me I repent to you, O Maulaa ......do accept me Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik Labbaik means to change.....so that I live my life for You Whatever I say and do, from now on will only be to please You I will give up my evil ways I will fix my nights and days Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik But Labbaik also means....... I LOVE you, Ya Rabbee Nothing else matters....but that You're pleased with me It’s Your Pleasure that I seek though I'm so sinful and weak Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik Head bowed low.... remorseful, and so full of fear I’m ashamed of my life....repentant, as I stand here Yearning Your forgiveness I cry out in wretchedness..... Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik Will I change for the better....will I turn my life around? Or will I succumb to temptation, wherever it is found? When will I even begin to see The faults that are so obvious in me? Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik I'll stop dealing in Ribaa..... I'll give up my Haraam earning I'll wear the Hijaab...... no more lying , no backbiting Never a single prayer will I neglect My character, I'll make...upright and erect Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik Don't let me become heedless, I pray....Don't make me forget All the promises I've made, Ya Allaah....all the goals that I've set Keep me strong, keep me steadfast Let this feeling in me, forever last Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik For I don't know when I'll die and I don't know where it will be But I hope I am in Ihraam....when the Angel comes to me 'Cos if I die so, the Prophet told you and me when raised from the dead, my first words'll be..... Labbaik....Allaahumma Labbaik
