Subject(s): God; Islam


King of all kingdoms! only Thou art crowned,
Whose throne is heaven, and earth Thy footstool's round,

Ya Mâlik! Ya Kuddûs! wa ya Salâm!
Oh, King! Oh, Holy One! Oh, Peace-giver!
Ya Aziz! Ya Muhaimin! Ya Mûmin!
Oh, Mighty! Oh, Protector! Faithful ever!
Ya Jabbâr! Oh, Thou Sovereign, All-compelling!
Ya Mutakabbir! Oh, Thou Lord excelling!
Exalted art Thou over utmost praise;
Accurst are those who graven idols raise
Beside Thee; unto them fall plagues and shames!
To Thee alone belong "the comely names."

King of all kings! we celebrate
With endless praise Thy glorious state.
