Ya Allah ya Allah
Siyizisebezako ya Allah
La ilaha illa llah
Muhammadu r-rasulu llah

Ngowokuqala i Muslim

I Qur'an engiphila ngayo
Ngiyaluzwa lidumo lwe Adhan
Lusihlanganisa vjengama Muslim
Ya Allah ya Allah
Siyizisebezako ya Allah
La ilaha illa llah
Muhammadu r-rasulu llah

I am a Muslim
Qur'an is my guide
I hear the calling Adhan
With it we unite
Ya Allah ya Allah
We are you servants ya Allah

Zonke izinto zika Allah
