எல்லாமும் இங்கே
அல்லாவும் நானே ஆகும்
பொல்லாத காலம்
கண்ணீரில் கோலம் போடும்
Everything here,
Happens only because of you, O Allah.
During cruel times,
Patterns of tears flow.
ஓடை இல்லாமல் போகின்ற ஓடத்திலே
ஓய்ந்தேனே ஓயாத சோகத்திலே
தீயில் பஞ்சாகி வேகின்ற நேரத்திலே
ஓஓ… ஓஓ…
In a boat drifting without a stream,
I have exhausted myself in ceaseless sorrow.
At a time burning like cotton in fire,
Oh ho oh ho
வல்லோனே நான் உன்னை காண்பேனோ
துன்பத்திலே சொல் சொல் சொல்
O Almighty, will I see you
In my times of affliction?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me... tell me, tell me
அன்பாளனே சொல் அருளாளனே சொல்
அன்பாளனே சொல் சொல் சொல்
அன்பாளனே சொல் அருளாளனே சொல்

தீயில் பஞ்சாகி வேகின்ற நேரத்திலே
ஓஓஓ…. ஓஓஓ…
In a boat drifting without a stream,
I have exhausted myself in ceaseless sorrow.
At a time burning like cotton in fire,
Oh ho oh ho
நல்லோருக்கு ஓர் தீங்கு செய்தேனில்லை
நம்பிக்கை துரோகத்தை சேர்ந்தேனில்லை
ஆனாலும் அல்லா நீ ஏன் என் மேல் கோபம் கொண்டாய்
ஓஓஓ…. ஓஓஓ…
Harm to good people,
I have never done.
Betrayal of trust,
I have never associated with.
பொய்வேடம் நான்
என்றும் இட்டேன் இல்லை
இல்லாரின் கைக்காசை
தொட்டேன் இல்லை
Yet O Allah, why have you
Become angry with me?
Oh oh oh
ஆனாலும் அல்லா நீ ஏன்
என்னை தீயாய் சுட்டாய்
ஓஓஓ…. ஓஓஓ…
I have never worn a false mask,
I have never touched money meant for the poor,
Yet O Allah, why have you
Burned me like fire? Oh oh oh
சேதாரம் ஆனாலும் அல்லாஹ் உன்
அன்பாலே தீரும் துயர் யாவும்
ஆதாரம் நீ ஆனால் எல்லாமே
கை சேர பாரம் பறந்தோடும்
Even if damage occurs, O Allah,
All sorrow will end through your love.
If you are the support, everything
Will fall into place, and burdens will fly away...
எல்லாமும் இங்கே

Everything here,
Happens only because of you, O Allah.

முள் மீதே கால் வைத்து சென்றோர் உண்டு
என்றாலும் அல்லாஹ்
உன் அன்பின்றி வெல்வார் உண்டோ
ஓஓஓ….
We have moved forward only because of you,
We have walked over thorns as well.
Even then, O Allah,
Is there anyone who wins without your love?
Oh oh oh
தன் போக்கில் எங்கேயும் செல்வர் உண்டு
தள்ளாடி பின்னாலே நின்றார் உண்டு
என்றாலும் அல்லாஹ்
உன் கண் இன்றி காண்பார் உண்டோ
ஓஓஓ….
Some may go wherever they please,
Some may falter and stand behind.
Even then, O Allah, in your eyes
Can anyone see fire or anger?
Oh oh oh
ஆகாயமானாலும் அல்லாஹ் நீ இல்லாமல்
தூரல் கிடையாதே
பூலோகம் ஆனாலும் அல்லாஹ்
உன் சொல்லின்றி பூவும் மலராதே

Without your triumph, there is no cheer.
Even on this earth, O Allah,
Without your word, not even a flower blossoms.
எல்லாமும் இங்கே அல்லாஹ்வும் நானே ஆகும்
ஈடுயில்லா உன்னை சொன்னாலே இன்பம் கூடும்
இதன் உன் பார்வை செய்கின்ற மாயத்திலே
எங்கேயும் தோன்றாதோ தீபங்களே
தாயும் நீயாகி கை தாங்கும் நேரத்திலே
ஓஓஓ…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Lal Salaam' is a deeply emotional prayer expressing anguish, innocence, and ultimate spiritual submission to the Almighty. The protagonist laments the overwhelming suffering and injustice he faces despite leading an honest life free from deceit, greed, and betrayal. Through poignant imagery—such as a boat stranded without water and cotton consumed by fire—he questions why he must endure such harsh trials.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaani)
“Oodai illamal pogindra oodathile”
Compares a helpless, directionless life state to a boat trying to move without a stream of water.
Simile / Metaphor
“Theeyil panjaki vekindra nerathile”
Evokes intense emotional pain by comparing the situation to cotton quickly catching fire.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Nallorkku oor theengu / Nambikkai dhrogaththai”
Repetition of the 'Na' sound at the beginning of consecutive thoughts ('Nallorkku', 'Nambikkai') creating poetic harmony.
Anaphora (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Anbalane sol arulalane sol”
Rhythmic repetition of 'Anbalane sol' heightens the urgency and vulnerability of the prayer.
