اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَرى وَلَا تُرى

Allāhumma innaka tarā wa lā turā

O Allah, indeed You see and are not seen.

وَأَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى ...

Wa anta bi‑l‑manẓari al‑aʿlā ...

And You are in the highest station of perception …

يَا ذَا الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ

Yā dhā alladhī kāna qabla kulli shayʾ

O Possessor of the One who existed before everything.

ثُمَّ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ

Thumma khalaqa kulla shayʾ

Then He created everything.

ثُمَّ يَبْقَى وَيَفْنَى كُلُّ شَيْءٍ

Thumma yabqā wa yafnā kullu shayʾ

Then He remains while everything perishes.

وَيَا ذَا الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى

Wa yā dhā alladhī laysa fī as‑samāwāti al‑ʿulā

O Possessor of the One — there is none in the highest heavens.

وَلَا فِي الْأَرَضِينَ السُّفْلَى

Wa lā fī al‑arāḍīna as‑suflā

Nor in the lowest earths.

وَلَا فَوْقَهُنَّ، وَلَا بَيْنَهُنَّ، وَلَا تَحْتَهُنَّ

Wa lā fawqahunna, wa lā baynahunna, wa lā taḥtahunnā

Nor above them, nor between them, nor beneath them.

إِلَٰهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُهُ

Ilāhun yuʿbadu ghayruh

There is no deity worshipped other than Him.

يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ

Yā Aḥad, yā Ṣamad

O One, O Eternal Refuge.

يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

Yā man lam yalid wa lam yūlad

O One who neither begets nor is begotten.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ …

Wa lam yakun lahu …

And there is none comparable to Him …

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ، وَحْدَهُ، وَحْدَهُ

Lā ilāha illā Allāh waḥdah, waḥdah, waḥdah

There is no deity except Allah — alone, alone, alone.
