Fourteen Years of Barakah
Bismillah… Alhamdulillah.
Fourteen years of His mercy.
A prayer of love for Taofiq and Shakiroh.
(Verse 1)
From the quiet halls of Unilorin, where the story first began,
Two hearts were drawn together, guided by the Master’s plan.
Through the chapters of your youth, to the building of this home,
Allah’s grace has been your shelter, you have never walked alone.
The affection that you share, a reflection of His peace,
May the harmony between you, Masha’Allah, never cease.
(Chorus)
Oh, fourteen years of mercy, a bond so pure and true,
Taofiq and Shakiroh, we make this Dua for you.
Alhamdulillah for the journey, Alhamdulillah for the grace,
May His Noor continue shining on your home and on your face.
Glory be to Allah SWT, as the years go multiplying,
Fabi ayyi alaaa'i rabbikuma tukazzibaan?
(Which of the favours of your Lord can you deny?)
(Verse 2)
Taofiq, the faithful pillar, the Qawwam and the guide,
Leading with a gentle heart, keeping faith right by your side.
Shakiroh, the home's quiet strength, the warmth behind the smile,
With Sabr and devotion, you go every extra mile.
Though small in your frame, your spirit is so grand,
You nurture this family with a gentle, loving hand.
(Bridge)
And to the fruits of this sweet garden, Mubarak and Munir,
The coolness of your eyes, growing brighter every year.
Two stars of the Ummah, a blessing in the nest,
May Allah grant them wisdom, and always give them the best.
(Chorus)
Oh, fourteen years of mercy, a bond so pure and true,
Taofiq and Shakiroh, we make this Dua for you.
Alhamdulillah for the journey, Alhamdulillah for the grace,
May His Noor continue shining on your home and on your face.
Glory be to Allah SWT, as the years go multiplying,
Fabi ayyi alaaa'i rabbikuma tukazzibaan?
(Which of the favours of your Lord can you deny?)
(Outro)
May He protect you from all harm, and keep your faith alive,
As you walk the path to Jannah, side by side.
A special dedication, sent with love up to the sky,
From the hearts of your dear family, Risikat and Abdulfatai.
May He grant you Barakah, in your time and in your wealth,
Peace, continuous joy, and everlasting health.
(Gentle fading hums)
Masha’Allah… Tabarakallah…
The journey continues. Assalamu Alaikum.
