Fantastic Poem taken from the divan of imam ahmad Rida
Allah hoo!
teri rabuubiyat ki adaa ka kamaal hai, tu rab-e-kaayanaat hai tu laazawaal hai.
har shai tere jamaal ki aainaadaar hai, har shai pukaarti hai tu parvardigaar hai.
allah huu!
This is the wonder of your divine essence,O Holder of the World, undying presence.
Every single creature reflects your beauty,Every object sings of you, Almighty!
Allah hoo!
tu jo har aan naii shaan deta hai, diidaar-e-shauq ko hairaan banaa deta hai.
Daalii Daalii teri takhliiq ke gun gaati hai, patta patta teri qudrat ka pata deta hai.
allah huu!
Every moment fresh in your flow of marvel,you lure every yearning gaze toward you.
Every branch extols your creative vision,every leaf a signature of your power.
Allah hoo!
kyuuN piyaa ibn-e-haidar ne jaam-e-fanaa, aur khaal khichvaai tabrez ne kyuuN bhala.
daar pe chaRh ke mansuur ne kya kaha, sab bana ke khilaune raha tu hi tu.
allah huu!
Why did Haider’s son drink his lethal goblet, Why was Shams-eTabrizi martyred?
What did Mansoor cry out at his gallows? Maker of the toys, you alone are standing.
Allah hoo!
kHaalik-e-kul hai tu is meN kya guftagu, saare aalam ko hai teri hi justaju.
teri jalvaagiri hai ayaaN chaar suu, laa shariik lahu maalik-e-mulk tu.
allah huu!
You created all beyond all doubt! The entire universe seeks your spirit.
Omnipresent is your godly grandeur.Without a peer, O Supreme Ruler!
Allah hoo!
