If I were to count Allah’s blessings on me, let alone on all creation, I would be incapable and incapacitated. Let us listen to this touching qasida on Allah’s gifts — and greatest gifts — and repeat with our tongues and, most importantly, our heart: Thank you, my dearest Lord, thank you.

Shukran, Ya Rabbī, Shukran
شُكْراً يا رَبِّي شُكْراً
هَــدَيْتَ قــَلْبِي شُـكْراً
نَـــوَّرْتَ دَرْبي شُــكْــراً
شُــــــــكْـــــــــــراً يـــــــــــا رَبّ
Shukran, my Lord, shukran
You guided my heart, shukran
You illuminated my path, shukran
Shukran, O Lord
يــا مُــنْـــزِلَ الــقُـــرْآن
يا خَالِقَ الإنْسَان
يــــا رَبِّي يــــا رَحْمٰــن
شُــــــــكْــــــراً يــــــا رَبّ
O You who revealed the Qur’ān
O You who created man
O my Lord, the Entirely-Loving
Shukran, O Lord
أنا بِصَلاتي أسْلَم
وبَالــسَّعــادَةِ أنْـــعَـم
أفْخَرْ بأنِّي مُسْلِم
شُــــــــكْــــــراً يــــــا رَبّ
I have shelter and security in my ṣalāh
And I am delighting in happiness
I am proud that I am a Muslim
Shukran, O Lord
يا خَالِقَ الأكْوَان
يــا رَبِّي يـــــا رَحْمٰــــن
أكْرِمْنِي بِالْغُـــفْــرَان
شُــــــــكْــــــراً يــــــا رَبّ
O You who created all existence
O my Lord, the Entirely-Loving
Honour me with Your forgiveness
Shukran, O Lord
