In the name of Allah, The Most Merciful
Whose grace is ever so more bountiful
The writer of His greatness no quill could be
Even if all trees were pen and ink, the sea
All praises be to Allah, the only Great
The only Entity that is worthy to prostrate
The only One to whom belongs all thanks
The only One who exalts above all ranks
He is the Lord of the angels in the sky
His power and wisdom elevates up high
He is the Lord of the Jin and of Mankind
And of all creations that one could find
The Most Merciful and the Most Gracious
The Always Living and the Always Conscious
The One who never sleeps nor will ever die
Whose greatness breaches the seventh sky
The only Owner of the Day of Recompense
The Day when the judgment would commence
The only Judge to whom belongs all praise
Only He gives death, then dead He’d raise
Oh Allah, Rahman, we worship only Thee
And we do prostrate and pray only to Thee
And only from Thee we ask for everything
For surely Thou arth the most Beneficent King
Oh Allah, please show us the Righteous Path
The Path that would save us from Thy Wrath
The Path of the guided, show us its trace
The Path on which Thou has bestowed Thy grace
Oh Allah, abstain us from the Wrong Path
The Path that would bring about Thy Wrath
Show us the True Path and the True Way
Not the Path of those that have gone astray
You are the only Guardian who can save
From the punishment of hell and of grave
Save us from the igniting Fire, Ya Ilah!
Oh Rahman, Oh Raheem, Oh Allah!
