The Creator
by Sami Yusuf

La ilaha illa Allah
(There is no god but Allah)
He created the plants and trees
He created the birds and bees
He created the oceans and seas
Some of His many bounties
He made us on earth trustees
To obey all His decrees
O Allah have mercy please,
Clean away our hearts’ disease

Chorus
Jalla Allahu fi ‘oulah
(Glorified is Allah in His loftiness)
Ma lana rabbun siwah
(We have no lord but He)
La ilaha illa Allah
Awwalun qablal wujud
(He is the First before existence)
Akhirun Ba’dal khulud
(He is the Last after eternity)
Mutlaqun ‘anil hudud
(Absolute is He above any limits)
Wajibun lahus sujud
(Obligatory it is to prostrate to Him)
Rabbun wahibul hayah
(The Lord who bestows life)
Mujrir rihi wal miyah
(He makes the wind and water surge)
Fadhat binnada yadah
(His blessings are overflowing)
Tuba lilladhi hadah
(Successful is he whom He guides)

Chorus
He gave the day and night
He gave us our sense sight
He created the sun so bright
And the moon so pure and white

He saved from our plight
He led us towards the light
He led us to the straight path
Through his mercy and his might

Chorus
Lord of the earth and the sky
Lord the mountains so high
Lord of the day and the night
Lord of joy and delight
