FROM FIKR TO FAKHR:I WAS CARRYING WORRIES THAT NOBODY COULD SEE QUESTION

I was carrying worries that nobody could see,m Questions about tomorrow, Memories of yesterday, Responsibilities surrounding me. My hands were working, But my mind was tired. My face was smiling, But my heart felt burdened. Then came a gentle remembrance... “Child, why are you carrying what is not yours?” I became still. And I remembered... I am a soul. I am not alone. The Almighty is my protector. What belongs to Him, I can place safely in His hands. And in that one remembrance, Fikr began to become Fakhr. [Chorus] From Fikr to Fakhr, From worry to light, From fear in the darkness To a soul shining bright. My burden is lighter, My heart is free, Baba, when I remember You, I remember who I am meant to be. From Fikr to Fakhr, From “mine” to “Yours,” I walk with remembrance Through life's open doors. I am a carefree emperor, Not because I own the world, But because I trust the One Who holds the world. [Verse 1 — The Burden] I thought about my family, I thought about my home, I thought about tomorrow, And feared being alone. I thought about success, I thought about loss, I measured every problem And calculated every cost.
