Interpretation by Novid Shaid, 2011
.
Qul Ya Azeem!
Antal Azeem!
Qad Hammana!
Hammul azeem!
Wa qullu shayin hammana!
Yahunu bismika Ya Azeem
.
Resting on earth
Living so free
There lies a man
Content in poverty
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to hide
Raising his hands,
He calls to the sky
.
Chorus: Qul Ya Azeem!
.
Trapped in a cell
In a living hell
Crouches a boy
Convicted, a rebel.
Young, vulnerable
But heart like a lion
Under his pain
He sings unashamed
.
Chorus: Qul Ya Azeem!
.
Crippled and sick
Inflicted with disease
Stuck to a bed,
No donor to relieve
Death on her side
No cure for her demise
Strong, unalarmed
Still patient and calm
.
Chorus: Qul Ya Azeem!
.
So be content!
Listen my friends!
Life is a sea
Unpredictable
If you are drowning
In calamities
Call on The One
And sail with His breeze!
.
Chorus: Qul Ya Azeem!
