Qul Ya Azim

قل يا عظيم

Arabic text

قُلْ يَا عَظِيمُ أَنْتَ الْعَظِيم
قَدْ هَمَّنَا أَمْرٌ عَظِيم
وَكُلُّ هَمٍّ هَمَّنَا
يَهُونُ بِاسْمِكَ يَا عَظِيم
أَنْتَ الْقَدِيم قَدِيمٌ فِي الْأَزَال
أَنْتَ اللَّطِيف لَطِيفٌ لَمْ تَزَلْ
عَنَّا أَزِلْ مَا قَدْ نَزَلْ
مِنْ فَادِحِ الْخَطْبِ الشَّدِيد
حَيٌّ قَدِيمٌ وَاجِدٌ
بَاقٍ غَنِي مَاجِدٌ
عَدْلٌ إِلَه إلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ
بَرٌّ رَؤُوف رَؤوفٌ بِالْعَبِيد
وَلِلنَّبِيِّ صَلِّ يَا سَلَام
مِنَّا صَلَاةٌ مَعْ سَلَام
يَوْمَ الْجَزَا امْنَحْنَا سَلَام
مِمَّا نَخَافٌ يَا مَجِيدُ
وَالْآلِ وَالصَّحْبِ الْأُسُود
سَادُوا بِهِ بِيضًا وَسُود
لَا سِيَّمَا مَاحِي الْحَسُود
سَيْفُ الْإِلَهِ ابْنُ الْوَلِيد
يَا رَبَّنَا بِالْفَاتِحَة
وَبِالرِّجَالِ الصَّالِحَة
اِجْعَلْ أُمُورَنَا نَاجِحَة
نَحْنُ وَكُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِين

English translation

Say, O Great One, You are truly Tremendous.
A grave matter has troubled us.
And every concern which worries us,
Is cured by the mention of your name, O Great One.
You are the eternally Ancient
the Everlasting Gentle.
Remove from us what has befallen us,
Of grave and serious afflictions.
Living; Ancient and Generous;
Immortal; Rich and Glorious;
Just, One God;
Benevolent and kind with Your slaves.
Send prayers from us, O Perfected One,
Upon the Prophet! Blessings and peace!
On the day of recompense grant us safety,
From everything we fear, O Glorious One.
The (Prophetic) relatives and brave companions
became masters through him, regardless of colour.
Especially the effacer of great armies;
The sword of God, (Khalid) the son of al-Waleed.
O our Lord, by Al-Fatiha,
And the Men of Righteousness,
Make our affairs successful,
Us and all of the Muslims.
