Biridhak Ya Khaligui
Ghalia Benali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
خلقت صوتي ويدك صورت اعضاي
برضاك يا خالقي لا رغبتي ورضاي
خلقت صوتي ويدك صورت اعضاي
ابلغ بصوتي يا ربي مقصدي ومناي
لما اناجيك لما اناجيك لما اناجيك
The lyrics to Ghalia Benali's song Biridhak Ya Khaligui are a beautiful expression of surrender and faith in a higher power. The opening line "برضاك يا خالقي لا رغبتي ورضاي" which translates to "With your satisfaction, my Creator, not my desire nor my satisfaction" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer acknowledges their place in the grand scheme of things, and pledges themselves to their Creator's will.
The next line, "خلقت صوتي ويدك صورت اعضاي" which translates to "You created my voice, and your hand created my limbs" highlights the singer's understanding of their own existence. They are a creation of their Creator and all that they have and all they are is because of Him. The song continues in this vein with the singer calling out to their Creator to listen to their prayers and to answer their supplication.
The message of the song is one of submission and reliance on a higher power. It reminds the listener that they are not in control and that it is important to trust and have faith. The beautiful melody and the hypnotic rhythm of the song create an ambiance that is both calming and uplifting.
