Bilal Habeshi
his faith, he did nothide from anybody
he gave an oath to his Rabb*
while his owner tortured him
the oppressors made him suffer
they denied him water
but he keeps his faith
the black slave is proud
O Bilal Habeshi
may Paradise comfort you
at Rabb* in His shade
you will enjoy the reward
the sun scorched him
the sand burned him
'Allah, Allah, He is one'
said the black slave
and when they, on his chest
put a heavy rock
he recited shadah
'He is One, [and] Only'
O Bilal Habeshi
may Paradise comfort you
at Rabb in His shade
you will enjoy the reward
and from severe trouble
Es-Sidik* got him out
may, eight jannahs,
dear Allah grant him
