PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 52. YA HAKK, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Truth and all truth he is! Serve him alone
Last Line: Can other or can equal be.
Subject(s): God; Islam


Oh, Thou, the Truth! when so Thy name we call.
All's said that need be said, sith Thou art all.

Truth and all truth He is! Serve Him alone
Who hath none other by nor near His Throne;
Unto all sins is Allah's pardon given
Except what giveth Him partners in Heaven,
Being Apart, Exalted, Truth and Light,
Only and wholly—hold thou this aright!

Ya Hakk! true God! never with Thee
Can other or can equal be.
