First Line: Say: he is god alone
Last Line: Thus do declare thy unity.
Subject(s): God; Islam


Wâhid! The "One!" ye faithful, say herein
Sura Al-I'hlâs, cleansing souls from sin.

"IN GOD'S NAME, MERCIFUL, COMPASSIONATE!"

Say: "He is God alone,
Eternal on the Throne.
Of none begotten, and begetting none,
Who hath not like unto Him any one!"

Ya Wâhid! Holy! Only! we
Thus do declare Thy unity.
