[Intro: vinyl crackle, rain, string loop] [Sample: distant chant] Subhan Allah… Subhan Allah… [Verse 1: whispered] Three a.m. and the beads are slipping through Counting names the way the sleepless count the blue One for the mercy, two for the rain Three for the lover who won't call again [Pre-Chorus: half-sung] The needle finds the groove, the groove remembers Every song I ever burned is in the embers [Chorus] Dhikr, dhikr Say it till it says you Dhikr, dhikr Ninety-nine, and I'm still missing two [Beat drops in fully, dub bass] [Verse 2: whispered] The city hums a frequency the prophets used to know Taxi lights like candles on a pilgrimage below I forgot his face, I forgot the date I only remember how to wait [Psych Guitar Solo: reverb, slow] [Bridge: spoken] They say there's a hundredth name Hidden from the counting Only the camel knows it That's why it never smiles [Synth Solo: tender, alone] [Final Chorus] Dhikr, dhikr Say it till it says you Dhikr, dhikr The beads run out, the rain runs through [Outro: crackle, rain, needle lifts] Astaghfirullah…
