Look! My Lord is such a great doer of things,
That my Lord commands full authority.

Of great and virtuous people that one can name,
My Lord is beyond them all.

He is not dependent upon others for his needs.
My Lord owes nothing to anyone.

He created life from nothingness.
My Lord is this kind of creator.

He has fashioned all created things.
My Lord hears all speech.

Of which there is no similarity of likeness,
My Lord is the maker of such scents.

Of every structures in this world or the one to come,
My Lord is mason of them all.

He is the reader of unwritten scriptures,
My Lord is the knower of all secrets.

The overt, the covert and the part-known,
My Lord knows them all.

What is created, what is concealed, what is between,
My Lord is aware of them all.

He does not have any associate in his kingdom,
My Lord is a king without a partner.

His oneness is not due to weakness,
For my Lord is infinite in one body.

He needs friendship from no one,
Whose friend is my Lord?

I don't need to look elsewhere,
For my Lord is with me in my home.

He is not transformed or changed O Rahman!
My Lord is always constant.

Contemplate the frantic
Efforts of the age
Countless are its antics
Boundless is its rage

Grieve in silence, brother!
Lest you keep your poise
Good men will be bothered
Evil men rejoice

Patience is a virtue
With the sweetest taste
When impatience hurts you,
Know, that haste is waste

Take on trust your fate if
You desire repose,
You would soon regret if
Something else you chose

Freedom cannot flourish
In your daily job
If a dream you nourish
Give your labour up

Falter shall the bustling
World, as I have said,
Should Rahman but trust in
What has got to fade?
