No Word Is Worthy – Sami Yousuf (Lyrics)

[ENGLISH]

Searched for the words
To describe your beauty
No matter how I tried
No word seemed worthy
Struggled to find
The right words for You
Words just fail to describe
What’s deep inside

Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, wa Allahu Akbar

(URDU)
Zemmeen Aseman, Jinn-o-Insaa bhi
(Earth and the Heavens, Jinn and Mankind)

Teri taa’reefein, Kartey bayan sabhi
(All praise Thee)

Bekhud huey, Dono jahan hi
(So both worlds become intoxicated)

Ruh se nikley, Jab ye kalma…Subhan Allah…
(When the soul recites this one word…Subhan Allah)

Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar

(FARSI)
Dar havaye To
(In Your remembrance)

Par migoshaayam
(I spread my wings)

Be omidi ke roozi
(In hope for the day)

Sooye To ayam
(I come to You)

Dar vasfe To
(In describing You)

Jomleha ra gashtam
(I searched sentences)

Kalameyi najostam
(I found no word)

Joz inke gooyam
(Except to say)

Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
(MALAY)
Ku mencari kata puji
(I searched for words to praise You with)

Buat menemani zikir hati
(Words to instill Your remembrance in my heart)

Namun tiada kalam yang pasti
(But no words are assuring enough)

Yang sesuci kalam ini
(As sacred as these)

Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
