Thanthana thanthana thanna
Thanthana thanthana thanna
Thanthana thanthana thannananaa
Allah, who is present everywhere,
chant His name, and only
good things will come your way.
Free of ups and downs,
Allah provides an even path;
peace will be born in His graceful gaze.
Back then, in Mecca,
a divine light arose,
and from it was born
justice for the whole world.
All of us
are the treasured wealth of Allah.
Holding on to righteous words,
let us speak them always.
Ada thanthana thanthana
thanthana naa
thana thanthana thanthana

Allah, who is present everywhere,
chant His name, and only
good things will come your way.
Free of ups and downs,
Allah provides an even path;
peace will be born in His graceful gaze.
Without knowing your beginning,
without understanding your end... aah... aa...
O human playing only in between,
you will rise only if you truly know yourself.
Living through deceit and speaking ill,
that is how man lives, alas!
Even when taught stories of righteousness,
why do you refuse to change?
If you ask, is He not there to give?
What exists forever without Him?
We have the Prophet's name to sing!
Blessings will multiply when He looks upon you!
Seeing the Santhanakoodu (sandalwood shrine procession),
offer your worship and respect today,
as all our family and relatives
gather together as one!
Allah, who is present everywhere,
chant His name, and only
good things will come your way.
Free of ups and downs,
Allah provides an even path;
peace will be born in His graceful gaze.
Embracing the path of daily prayer,
boldly raise your flag;
for our true guide is Prophet Muhammad!
Offering the sweet nectar of warm embrace,
resounding with a brand new melody,
our motherland will blossom fresh and green.
The glory of Allah will never fade;
without the language of love, what other language is there?
Recite the blessed name of Mecca;
when He stands by you daily, what sorrow can exist?
What is the true goodness within all good?
What is the ultimate truth within all truth?
It is the divine light that stays with us forever.
Allah, who is present everywhere,
chant His name, and only
good things will come your way.
Free of ups and downs,
Allah provides an even path;
peace will be born in His graceful gaze.
Back then, in Mecca,
a divine light arose,
and from it was born
justice for the whole world.
All of us
are the treasured wealth of Allah.
Holding on to righteous words,
let us speak them always.
Ada thanthana thanthana
thanthana naa
thana thanthana thanthana
thannan naa
Allah, who is present everywhere,
chant His name, and only
good things will come your way.
Free of ups and downs,
Allah provides an even path;
peace will be born in His graceful gaze.
