Little bird by Dawud Wharnsby

A nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby In an interview Dawud Wharnsby said: "Little Bird" means a lot to me. I wrote it after a visit to Madinah in 1995. Following Salat in the Prophet's Mosque, I exited the Masjid and met an eight year old girl of Nigerian decent who had been put to work selling heavy bags of bird seed. She was abused by other older beggars and spent her days alone in the sun working very hard. This was her life only a few yards from the grave of the Messenger Of Allah. I was repulsed to see her circumstance. I found her far more beautiful than the marble and gold architecture around me. We smiled and tried to communicate for a long time before she left to go about her work. "Little Bird" is her story and I asked my eight year old friend Zainab to sing it on "Colors Of Islam".
