[English] Fortunate Is He Lyrics
Fortunate is he
Who remembers Allāh abundantly
Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway
His thoughts of Allāh and Judgement Day
Righteous is he
Who bows to one he cannot see
Whose deeds do not spring without Bismillāh
In the name of Allāh
Fulfilling his tasks with perfect Taqwā
Being conscious of Allāh
Devout is he
Who supplicates to Allāh intensively
Whose heart is merciful, tender and kind
His gaze on life after, this world behind
Prosperous is he
Who spends his wealth on the poor and needy
Who speaks a kind word to kin and neighbour
Ever-grateful for Allāh’s favours
Guided is he
Who prays Ṣalāt Ritual prayer, 5 times daily
with punctuality
Early morning, Tahajjud [Voluntary night prayer] he prays
For Allāh’s pleasure and nearness he craves
God fearing is he
Who contemplates death early
Who starts as he sees his demise
And tears fall over wasted sacrifice
Blessed is he
Who sings Allāh’s praises fervently
Blessed be all of Allāh’s slaves
Allāh’s mercy be with them always
