This poem is known as Yaa 'Aabidallaahi by Mawlaanaa Shaykh Nuur Hakiim (May Allaah be
pleased with him).
ياعابدالله لاتقنط من الله # رحمة وقم بذا السير إلى الله
1. Yaa Abida Lahi laa taknat mina Laahi # Rahmatan wakum bi-dhaa-saeri ilaa-l-Laahi
1. Oh you servant of Allah! do not despair; # from the mercy of your Lord, just continue your
journey to Allah.
ولا تعتمد إلى أعمالك الظاهرا # ت بل ولا الباطنات إرج إلى الله
2. Walaa ta‘atamid ilaa a‘amaalika-zahiraa # ..ti. Bal walaa l baatinaat, irju ila-Laahi
2. Do not rely on neither your manifest act of worship # nor the hidden ones, but put your hope
in Allah.
ولم يزل دائما عند ظن العبد ما # ظن به الخير إلتجئ إلى الله
3. Walam yazal daaimaan ‘inda zani-l-‘abdi maa # Zana bihi-l-khaeri iltaji ilaa-Laahi
3. Allah will always act upon the belief of His servant # Therefore always have positive beliefs
and take refuge by Allah.
تيقن بأنه غيرمخلف لعه # ده تقرب بذا دوما إلى الله
4. Tayaqan bi-anahu, ghaera mukhlifii li-ah # ..dihi taqarab bi-dhaa dawmaan ilaa-Laahi
4. Be assured that Allah never change His promises; # On that basis, Endeavour to get closer to
Allah.
يا أولا لا بداية له لا ولا # نهاية مطلقا لآخر الله
5. Ya awwala laa bidaayatan lahu la walaa # nihaayatan mutlaqaan, li aakhira-Laahi
5. Oh you Allah! Who has no beginning. # And there is no end to the existence of Allah.
يا باطنا كل باطن له ظاهر # إذ برزت خلقه كلا إلى الله
6. Yaa Baatinaa kulu baatini lahu Zaahirun # Idh barazat khalquhu kulaan ilaa-Laahi
6. Oh you the Hidden! to Whom all hidden things are manifest; # The secret of creation of all
things, is open to Allah.
إبتطن الكل من ظهوره كافة # فى ليلة يرتقى قوم إلى الله
7. Ibtatan al-kulu min Zuhuurihi kaafatan # fii laelati yartaqii qawmun ilaa-Laahi
7. Under the emergency of Allah, all things, get observed; # In a night in which a set of people
rise up to their Lord, Allah.
فليلة القدر عندنا غشت دهرنا # إذ الصوم عندنا عما سوى الله
8. Fa-Laelatul qadri indanaa gashat dahranaa # Idh sawmu ‘indanaa amaa siwaa-Laahi
8. Our own laylatul-Qadr (Night of Majesty) covers all our times. # Since sawm (fasting); to us,
is ignoring any things other than Allah.
صلا تنا وصلنا زكاتنا عندما # أخرجت أرواحنا عرجا إلى الله
9. Solatuna waslunaa, zakaatunaa inda maa, # Ukhrijat arwaahunaa, kharjan ilaal Laahi
9. Our own prayer is our unity with God, while we give out our own zakat # ..when our souls are
made to rise to Allah.
يحج كل الورى وذا الحج قصدهم # ولم يسلكوا سبيلهم إلى الله
10. Yahuju kula-l-waraa, wadhaa-l-haju qasduhum # Walam yaslukuu sabeelahum ila-Laahi
10. People go on pilgrimage to Makkah and with that; they intend to reach Allah; # But they
have never been able to find their way to Allah.
إلى بيته الذى يحجون دائما # حققنا أصولنا نحن إلى الله
11. Ilaa baetihi ladhii, yahujuuna daa’imaan # Haqaaqunaa usuulanaa, nahnu ila-Laahi
11. They continually travel to His House (but fail to get Him) # But ascertaining our source
therefore, We reach Him (Allah).
لقد فنى قومنا وهذا الفنى فنى # وبعد ذاك الفنى بقو مع الله
12. Laqad fanaa qawmunaa wa adhal fanaa fanaa # Wa ba‘ada dhaakal fanaa, bakaw maha-Laahi
12. Our people have vanished (in the Light of Allah) # and having been vanished, they remain
with Allah.
إمتثلوا أمر خير هذا الورى فمو # تهم قبل موتهم فهم مع الله

best of all creatures # Hence, their death comes before their physical demise and they remain
with Allah.

Siyaaqata murtadaa, dawmaan ilaa-Laahi
