Translation: Ali ki Shan (Qawwali)

Under the guidance of our Lord Murtaza (Hazrat Ali),
What can I say, what did I attain?
I found Ali and Nabi (Prophet Mohammed)
And when I found Nabi, I discovered Allah

O Ali your glory is exceptional; O Ali your glory is incomparable

We are a drop …. We are a drop….. We are a drop
He is the ocean of enlightenment….

Mowla Ali, your glory is exceptional; O Ali your glory is incomparable

O Lord of the Brave, Lion (Valiant) of the Divine, Strength of God
There is no one as brave as Ali, and no other sword as his sword Zulfiqar…..1

O Ali your glory is exceptional; O Ali your glory is incomparable

Whenever sadness took over, you took us out of misery and gloom,
Whenever we stumbled from the straight path, you led us back to it,
Whenever the clouds of sorrow swelled over us,
You gave us your helping hand,
Whenever tears came to our eyes, you took us under your protection………2

O Ali you are in my every breath; O Ali you are in my every breath

O Ali your glory is exceptional; O Ali your glory is incomparable

Through your mercy we have respect, and recognition,
Through your mercy stone can become pearl and arid, fertile,
Through your mercy, we are existing and capable of each breath,
For you O My Mowla we can give up everything …….…………………………..3

O Ali you are in my every breath; O Ali you are in my every breath

We are a drop …. We are a drop….. We are a drop
He is the ocean of enlightenment….

O Ali your glory is exceptional; O Ali your glory is incomparable
