Kun fa ya Kun!

This song is a great composition that recalls some of the themes from the esoteric knowledge of the Sufi Science. The title of the Song, "Kun Fa Ya Kun" is a famous Quranic verse which is a Symbol / Sign of God's Mystical Creative Power. Kun (كن) in Arabic means "Be" and "fa Ya Kun" (فيكن) means "Thus It is" / "So It is." The verse is from the Quranic Chapter, Surah Ya-Siin which is also called the Heart of the Quran because of the importance of the reminders / message that it carries. Here is the context in which the verse Kun Fa Ya Kun appears:
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is an open disputant? And he presents an (argument of) likeness for Us and forgets his own creation.
He asks (in confusion): "Who will give life to the bones when they are disintegrated?"
Say: "He will give life to them Who brought them into existence in the first place, and He is cognizant of all creation."
He Who has made for you, from the green tree, fire. and then from it you kindle (fire). Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes Indeed! and He is the Superb Creator (of all), the Ever-Knowing.

 Innamaa amruhu izaaa arada shay-an an yaqoola lahu: Kun! fa ya kun!.

Surely His Command, when He wills a thing, is only to say to it: "Be! and it is!"
Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. (The Qur'an 36:77-83)

Kun! fa ya Kun!, Kun! fa ya Kun!

Advance your blessed feet. Appear!
Making the boundaries disappear,
may you fill this void, the abode of your Beloved.
Its empty without you, come fill this void.

O Dyer, O Dyer!
We dye in Your color.

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
Be, and it is! And It is!
Be, and it is! And It is!
Be, and it is! And It is!

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

He is the one Who is in my soul,
He is the one in your soul,
Dear Lord is the one that is the Mystery (all around).

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth.

Color my heart and my mind with Your color, the Color Divine!
In exchange, take all that is mine.

Morning showers its blessings (when) I adore You,
and it purifies dark night soul of mine.
My spirit's nourishment comes from Your sanctuary,
O Master, O Beloved...

Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.
Kun fa ya Kun, Kun fa ya Kun!

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth

The blessings and peace of Allah upon him.

It would be your generosity upon me, my Master,
I pray to you, please free me from the bonds of the self,
Grant me visitation to my True Face -
Free me from the bonds of the self,
freedom from the self.

With vanities of my mind,
burdens of my misdeeds,
Carrying, where I am going?
I have no idea!

You live within me, and now,
where have You brought me?

I live in You,
I have only followed You,
I am but Your shadow.

You created me,
I did not fit within the world,
But You embraced me,
Only You are the Truth.
Only You are the Real.

(You Command) Be, and it is! Be, and it is!
Be, and it is! Be, and it is!

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

When there was nothing nowhere,
He was the One, only One.

Verily, when You will anything
Your Command only is, "Be," and it is!
(Please intend noble aspirations and direction for me).

Allah the Sublime, the Magnificent says the truth
His Messenger, the Generous Prophet says the truth
The blessings and peace of Allah upon him.
Benediction of grace and peace upon him.
