Irfan Makki - Waiting For Your Call

Kali pertama mendengar nama Irfan Maki adalah kerana berduet dengan Maher Zain dalam lahu Allahi Allah Kiya Karo dalam album Thank You Allah. Kemudian aku berkesempatan melihatnya secara live semasa konsert Maher Zain di Shah Alam yang lalu. Lagunya pada malam konsert tersebut berjudul Mabruq menarik minat penonton sehingga dinyanyikan dua kali atas permintaan ramai. Mungkin kerana beberapa bait dalam senikata lagu tersebut dinyanyikan dalam bahasa Melayu.

Selepas konsert tersebut, memang aku tercari-cari album dari Irfan Makki. Akhirnya berjumpa juga. Pertama kali mendengar lagu track pertama dalam album baru ini, terasa menarik susunan muziknya. Waiting For Your Call - Panggilan siapa yang dinantikan ? Rupanya panggilan Allah untuk menunaikan ibadah Haji dan Umrah di Tanah Suci Mekah.


Waiting For Your Call

Miles away, oceans apart
Never in my sight always in my heart
The love is always there it will never die
Only growing stronger a tears rose down my eye

I am thiking all the time
When the day will come
Standing there before you
Accept this Hajj of mine

Standing in ihram, making my tawaf
Drinking blessings from your well
The challenges that I have suffered
And might were rekindles my imaan

O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall

I feel alive and I feel strong
I can feel Islam running through my Veins
To see my muslim brothers, their purpose all the same
Greeting one another, exalting one True Name
I truly hope one day that everyone's a Muslim.
That they remember you in everything they say

Standing in ihram making my tawaf, making my tawaf
Drinking blessings from your well
The challenges that I have suffered
And might were rekindles my imaan

O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall


Suara Irfan Makki agak unik dan sesekali mengingatkan kita kepada suara Micheal Jackson. Dalam Album terbaru ini juga, Irfan Makki berkolaborasi lagi dengan Mahir Zain. Tentulah sebab Maher Zain sendiri bertindak sebagai orang yang penting dalam penghasilan album ini. Mereka berkolaborasi dalam lagu I Believe yang sungguh menarik. Insya'allah kita akan menemui Rasulullah s.a.w suatu masa nanti. Aku percaya.



I Believe

When you're searching for the light
And you see no hope in sight
Be sure and have no doubt
He's always close to you

He's the one who knows you best
He knows what's in your heart
You'll find your peace at last
If you just have faith in Him

You're always in our hearts and minds
Your name is mentioned every day
I'll follow you no matter what
My biggest wish is to see you one day

Chorus:
I believe
I believe
Do you believe, oh do you believe?

Coz I believe
In a man who used to be
So full of love and harmony
He fought for peace and liberty
And never would he hurt anything
He was a mercy for mankind
A teacher till the end of time
No creature could be compared to him
So full of light and blessings

You're always in our hearts and minds
Your name is mentioned every day
I'll follow you no matter what
If God wills we'll meet one day

Chorus

If you lose your way
Believe in a better day
Trials will come
But surely they will fade away
If you just believe
What is plain to see
Just open your heart
And let His love flow through

I believe I believe, I believe I believe
And now I feel my heart is at peace
