Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party performing Allah Hoo at University of Washington
English Translations & Lyrics:
Malik-Ul-Mulk, Lashareeka Lahoo
Ruler of the world, soul of my blood
Wahadahoo Laa Ilaahaa Illaahoo
The promised one, there is nothing but you
Shams Tabraiz Gar Khuda Talabee
Every great scholar is your student
Khushboo Khuwan La Illaha Illahoo
In every scent, there is nothing but you
Qounain Ka Masjood Hai Maa’bood Hai Tu
Creator of and worshipped by both worlds
Her Shay Teri Shahid Hai K Mashhood Hai Tu
Every thing is witness to your manifestation
Her Aik K Lab Per Hai Teri Hamd-O-Sana
On everyone’s lips is your prayer
Her Sooz Mein Her Saaz Mein Moujood Hai Tu
In every chord, every song is your presence
Tere He Naam Say Her Ibtida Hai
Every beginning is with your name
Tere He Naam Per Tak Intiha Hai
With your name ends everything
Teri Hamd-O-Sana Alhamdulillah
Your praise is ‘praise be to Allah’
K Tu Mere Mohammad Ka Khuda Hai
That you are the God of my Mohammad
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Yeh Zameen Jab Na Thi Yeh Jahaan Jab Na Thaa
When this earth and world did not exist
Chaand Suraj Na Thay Aasman Jab Na Tha
When there was no moon, sun or sky
Raaz-E-Haq Bhi Kisi Per Ayaan Jab Na Tha
When the secret of the truth was still unknown
Tab Na Tha Kuch Yahaan Tha Magar Tu Hee Tu
When there was nothing, there was you
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Har Shay Tere Jamaal Ki Aainaa Daar Hai
Everything is a reflection of your glory
Har Shay Pukaarti Hai Tu Parvardigaar Hai
Every thing cries out that you are the Lord
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Teri Ruboobiyat Ki Ada Ka Kamaal Hai
It is the distinction of your enthralling visage
Tu Rab-e-Qayaanat Hai, Tu Lajwal Hai
You are the unrivalled Lord of the Universe
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Tu Jo Her Aan Nayi Shaan Dikha Deta Hai
You who shows new beauty every instant
Deeda-E-Shouq Ko Hairan Bana Deta Hai
Surprises even those who yearn for more
Daali Daali Teri Takhleeq K Gun Gaati Hai
Every sapling sings of your creation
Patta Patta Teri Qudrat Ka Pata Deta Hai
Every leaf is a signature of your nature
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Laa Ilaahaa Teri Shaan Ya Wahdahoo
My God, you are the splendor you promised
Tu Khayaal-O-Tajassus Tu He Aarzoo
You are the curiosity, you are the desire
Aankh Ki Roshni Dil Ki Awaaz Tu
The light of my eyes, the voice of my heart
Tha Bhi Tu! Hai Bhi Tu! Hoga Bhi Tu Hee Tu!
You were, you are, and will be only you
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Khaalik-E-Kul Hai Tu Is Mein Kia Guftagu
You are everything, what is the argument in this
Saare Aalam Ko Hai Teri He Justaju
The whole world is searching only for you
Teri Jalvaagari Hai Ayaan Chaar Su
Even as your magnificence is in every corner
La Shareeka Lahoo Maalik-E-Mulk Tu
You are in my blood, Lord of the world
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
allah Hoo means Allah IS
Very useful. Much appreciated
Premape, why did Jesus run in next verse? He hid himself. A running god! Stop insulting God Almighty!
Lashareeka lahoo doesn’t mean soul pf my blood
actual word is ” laa shareekalahu ” which means Without any partner
U r right bro
i read your each and every article and i like your each and every blog. realy it was superb
I came to this site by chance. I was looking for meaning of a sufi song by late Nusrat saheb( while Iwrite late before my name, my heart bleeds). I am great fan of Saheb.
sorry for mistake, before “his” name.
Hahaha, so you mean Jesus was there before Allah? Jesus was created lower than angels (heb 2:7-9) how he was lower than angels if there were no angels? Grow up! Why would we listen to a book that reflects errors, Can you compare Jesus with an Invisible God? Solve your own problems, ebony christians and jehovah witnesses refuse Jesus to be God. And More, jesus also told He was a prophet so ask your third God “Holy Ghost” to solve my confusion. What is truth in Bible? Some lines say what and some what. I feel pity. You all are going to burn like Satan’s Apostle Paul.
La Sharika La hu
– He has no partners.
Not soul of my blood
