Worship and praise belong to Him Who is Everlasting; He has not equal or His like. He alone endures, all else is but perishable; To love others is only an idle tale. All are others, He alone is the darling of my heart; The only cry of my heart: ‘Holy is He Who watches over me’. Holy is His Divine might, Grandeur is His alone; Those close to Him stand atremble, And angels are awe-stricken. His Mercy is all-pervasive; How can one be grateful enough? We are all His creation; Love Him we must. To love others is contrary to His Pride Blessed be this day; Holy is He Who watches over me.

Every comfort we enjoy Is His Gift and Grace; Every heart is pledged to Him And is filled with His Grandeur.

We had better submit to Him alone, For in it lies all felicity and auspiciousness; Blessed be this day; Holy is He Who watches over me.

He alone is the Succour and Support of all; His mercy is manifest.
He alone is Dear to us; He alone is our Beloved.

He alone is Indispensable; Everything other than Him is false. Blessed be this day; Holy is He Who watches over me.

The favour is Yours, O Lord; I am but an offering at Your threshold. You have granted the faith;
You alone are the Protector at all times.

Your Grace covers us every moment; You are the Most Gracious, Ever-Merciful. Blessed be this day;
Holy is He Who watches over me.

How can You be thanked enough;
All that is mine, is Yours! You have filled my home with every bounty; All darkness vanished when Your light came;

Blessed be this day;
Holy is He Who watches over me.
