يا حُسنَ سَقفِ مَنارَةٍ

يا حُسنَ سَقفِ مَنارَةٍ

فيها إِلَهُ الخَلقِ يُذكَرْ

فيها إِلَهُ الخَلقِ يُذكَرْ

How beautiful is a minaret’s roof!

O beauty of the minaret's dome

In it, the God of creation is remembered,

Wherein God, the Creator, is remembered

وَرَسولُهُ خَيرُ الوَرى

وَرَسولُهُ خَيرُ الوَرى

مُختارُه طهَ المُطهَّر

مُختارُه طهَ المُطهَّر

And His Messenger, the best of humankind,

And His Messenger, the best of creation

His chosen one, Ta-Ha, the purified.

His Chosen One, pure Taha

وَبِها الأَذانُ لِذِكرِهِ

وَبِها الأَذانُ لِذِكرِهِ

مُتواصِلٌ يَبدو وَيَظهَر

مُتواصِلٌ يَبدو وَيَظهَر

And there the call to prayer, in remembrance of Him,

Within it the call to prayer for His remembrance

Is unceasing, appearing and becoming manifest.

Continues, appearing and manifesting

وَالذِّكر أَرِّخ دايمٌ

وَالذِّكر أَرِّخ دايمٌ

أَذِّنْ وَقُلْ اللَّهُ أَكبَر

أَذِّنْ وَقُلْ اللَّهُ أَكبَر

And remembrance—record the date—is everlasting:

And this constant memorial, declare it:

Give the call to prayer and say, “God is greatest!”

Call and say: God is Greatest
