(based on the famous Arabic qasida)

.

Sing it with sincere ardour!

Drink it in with cheer and fervour!

The authentic formula!

La ilaha illalah!

.

Hear it echo in your dreams!

Wear this credo with esteem!

It’s the manifesto supreme!

La ilaha illalah!

.

Through it strengthens certainty!

View it with sincerity!

Imbue it, oh humanity!

La ilaha illalah!

.

In the great glory of dawn

When dusk’s canopy is drawn

Read it happily, feel reborn!

La ilaha illalah!

.

Hidden in it lies relief,

Medicine for spiritual diseases,

It’s the divine remedy!

La ilaha illalah!

.

Light of Unity appear

In those ones who preservere

Reciting with strong candour!

La ilaha illalah!

.

Peace and blessings on the one,

Prayers upon the noble one,

Who brought us the Kalima!

La ilaha illalah!
