A Sajdah

[Rochdi]

Hands, forehead and nose

Hands, knees and toes;

A Sajdah

Pleases the Mu’min

And enrages the foes!

 

How blissful is the wind which blows

Between the members of a body lost

In the remembrance of He to whom,

Every living entity prostrates and bows.

 

Hands, forehead and nose

Hands, knees and toes;

A Sajdah

Pleases the Mu’min

And enrages the foes!

 

Only the Mu’min knows

The light which, inside the heart,

Incessantly burns and glows.

 

Hands, forehead and nose

Hands, knees and toes;

A sajdah

Pleases the Mu’min

And enrages the foes!
