A spiritual song translated from Arabic and recorded by Mina Hanna.

Lyrics

If the mother overlooks her baby
The Lord’s love protects him (x2)
His children are the most favored
So how can He overlook me

Refrain:
How can He overlook me (x2)
If the mother overlooks her baby
My Lord will not overlook me

If the mother neglects her child
The Lord will protect and comfort it (x2)
He knows everything about me
So how can He over look me

(Refrain)

If the bird fell and was injured
Man over-looks this creature (x2)
This lover does not over-look
So how can He over look me

(Refrain)

From the thorns He is suffering
He protects the injured bird (x2)
I am the most favored in his eyes
So how can He over look me

(Refrain)
