Lyrics
A humble slave am I of an almighty Lord. No work is too hard for that One who’s adored. But though I’m a beggar who cannot afford To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord. All Creatures of our God and King, Lift up your voice and with us sing. Oh Praise Him Allelujah He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing, just “Be”, and it is, by the might of a King. The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings, All blessings and grace by the might of a King. I haven’t got the force, No strength between my sides Why feel such remorse when the Maker provides? I haven’t got the force, No strength between my sides Why feel such remorse when the Maker provides? Allelujah Thou Burning Sun with golden beam, Thou Silver Moon with softer gleam. Ana ‘abdu Rabbī lahū qudratun (A humble slave am I of an almighty Lord.) Yahūnu bihā kullu ’amrin ‘asīr (No work is too hard for that One who’s adored.) Fa-’in kuntu ‘abdan ḍa‘īfa l-quwā (But though I’m a beggar who cannot afford) Fa-Rabbī ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr (To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord.) Thou rising moon in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening find a voice, Alleluja Oh praise him Alleluia Oh praise him Minnī ash ‘alayā wa ana ‘abadun mamlūk (I’m but a humble slave, what should I worry about?) Wa-l-’ashyā’ maqaḍīya mā fi t-taḥqīqi shukūk (All affairs are ordained, of this there is no doubt) Rabbī nāẓir fiyā wa ana naẓarī matrūk (My Lord sees everything, while my sight leaves much out) Fi l-’arḥām wa l-’aḥshā’ min nuṭfa ṣawwaranī (In the womb, He formed me from a drop) Ana mā lī fiyāsh, ash ‘alayā minnī (I haven’t got the force, No strength between my sides) Aqliq mir-rizqī lāsh, wa-l-Khāliq yarzuqnī (Why feel such remorse when the Maker provides?) Allāhumma ṣalli ‘ala l-Muṣṭafā, ḥabībnā Muḥammad ‘alayhi s-salām (O Allah, send your blessings on The Chosen One Our beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon him)
