Qul Ya Azeem!

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!
