Alhamdulillah AlhamdulillahPraise be to God, all praise to the Almighty
Umenipa pumzi nimeuona tenaaYou’ve given me breath so I’ve seen it once more
Wallah furaha wallah furahaBy God, what joy, such incredible joy
Nipo tayari mvuvi kuvua neemaI’m ready, like a fisherman, to reel in your grace
Yarabi nafsi yangu roho yangu ijaze imaniLord, fill my soul and my heart with steadfast faith
Nirindie funga yangu ibada yangu na mingi mitihaniShield my fast and my worship from many temptations
Mwezi ulo mwema uja kwetu wauminiThe blessed month arrives for us, the believers
Funga ni imara afya kwetu mwiliniFasting is a pillar of strength and health for our bodies
Ni vyema kutolala kumi la mwishoIt’s best not to sleep during these final ten nights
Kesha msikitiniBut to stay awake in the mosque in prayer
Tupate na maghfira kwa Mola mananiSo we may find forgiveness from the Gracious Lord
Nilindie imani Mola imani MolaProtect my faith, oh Lord, guard my spirit
Imanii funga yangu iwe salamaWith faith, let my fasting be pure and safe

Enyi waja wenzangu tulojidhurumu nafsi zetuOh, my fellow servants who’ve wronged our own souls
Tusikate tamaa na rehma za Mwenyezi MunguLet’s not lose hope in the mercy of Almighty God
Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu usamehe dhambi zoteFor truly, God forgives every single sin
Yeye ni mwenye kusamehe na mwenye kurehemuHe’s the Most Forgiving and the Most Merciful
Aswahumu lii funga ni yake yeyeAs-sawmu li’ (fasting is for Me), the fast belongs to Him
WaanaajizibAnd I’m the one who rewards it
Na yeye ndie anae lipaYes, He’s the one who provides the recompense
