IN PRAISE OF ALLAH By Tanvir Phool Translated by Ahmed Kamal Khusro
Heart’s lyre every moment resounds with the refrain ‘Allah is the Only One’ On the heart’s book, the soul has written ‘Allah is the Only One.’
The cry of ‘A Last’ [Am I not your Lord] , heard in the beginning by the ear The tongue chanted without delay, ‘Yes, Yes, Allah is the Only one.’ When the heart spoke of his Oneness, my belief became strong
Just as Bilal lay on scorching sand but said, ‘Allah is the Only One’ Listen from the pores of your heart, all secrets will be revealed
That the universe is tongued with the anthem ‘Allah is the Only One’. His remembrance alone relieves the affliction of my heart
Surely, the soul’s comfort, the only anodyne is ‘Allah is the Only One.’ He is the Lord of everyone; He is free of any partner,
Spread in the world and say to all ‘Allah is the Only One’. When Yusuf in jail exhorted all ‘Allah is the Only One’
His companions replied in unison ‘Allah is the Only One’. When I leave this world, let your favour be with me,
You are immanent in every fibre, All Pride is Yours, ‘Allah is the Only one’ Let my lips chant Your name and of Your Prophet [saws] Let my mouth repeatedly utter ‘Allah is the Only One’.
