دِينِي الْحَنِيفُ وَرَبِّيَ اللَّهُ

دِينِي الْحَنِيفُ وَرَبِّيَ اللَّهُ

وَشَهَادَتِي أَنْ لَيْسَ إِلَّا هُو

وَشَهَادَتِي أَنْ لَيْسَ إِلَّا هُو

Mine is the upright faith, and my Lord is God;

My religion is Hanif and my Lord is Allah

And my testimony is that there is none but Him.

My testimony that none but He exists

لا جَاهَ لِي إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ

لا جَاهَ لِي إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ

وَلَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الطَّاعَةِ الْجَاهُ

وَلَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الطَّاعَةِ الْجَاهُ

I have no honor except through obedience to Him;

Glory comes to me only through obeying Him

And how fine a reward for obedience is honor!

How excellent the aftermath of obedience and glory!

أَنَا خَاشِعٌ لِجَلالِ قُدْرَتِهِ

أَنَا خَاشِعٌ لِجَلالِ قُدْرَتِهِ

مُتَقَلِّبُ الْجَنْبَيْنِ أَوَّاهُ

مُتَقَلِّبُ الْجَنْبَيْنِ أَوَّاهُ

I am humbled before the majesty of His power,

I am humble before the majesty of His power

Turning from side to side, ever sighing.

Turning my sides over its severity

فَأَضَالِعِي لِلْوَجْدِ نَارُ غَضىً

فَأَضَالِعِي لِلْوَجْدِ نَارُ غَضىً

وَمَحَاجِرِي بِالدَّمْعِ أَمْوَاهُ

وَمَحَاجِرِي بِالدَّمْعِ أَمْوَاهُ

So my ribs, from longing, are a fire of ghada wood,

So my ribs are aflame with fervent love

And my eye sockets are pools of tears.

And my cheeks flowing with tears

زَهَتِ الْقُلُوبُ بِنُورِ حِكْمَتِهِ

زَهَتِ الْقُلُوبُ بِنُورِ حِكْمَتِهِ

وَتَعَطَّرَتْ بِالذِّكْرِ أَفْوَاهُ

وَتَعَطَّرَتْ بِالذِّكْرِ أَفْوَاهُ

Hearts have grown radiant with the light of His wisdom,

Hearts are adorned with the light of His wisdom

And mouths have grown fragrant with remembrance.

And mouths perfumed with His remembrance

أَنَا أُمَّةٌ وَحْدِي عَلَى سَرَفٍ

أَنَا أُمَّةٌ وَحْدِي عَلَى سَرَفٍ

فِي حُبِّهِ وَالنَّاسُ أَشْبَاهُ

فِي حُبِّهِ وَالنَّاسُ أَشْبَاهُ

I am a nation unto myself, going to excess

I am a nation alone in my excess

In my love for Him, while other people are alike.

In my love for Him though people are alike

إِنْ تَاهَ غَيْرِي بِالزَّمَانِ فَلِي

إِنْ تَاهَ غَيْرِي بِالزَّمَانِ فَلِي

قَلْبٌ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَيَّاهُ

قَلْبٌ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَيَّاهُ

If another glories in the age, I have

If others go astray in these times

A heart that ever glories in the remembrance of God.

A heart remembering Allah wanders
