English Lyrics:
Today is the beginning of this conversation
That all who hear it will be amazed by it
It includes a discussion on the Oneness
And the powers of the Almighty, His strength shines through
I am narrating the creation of Adam (AS)
Whose witnesses include the sub, the land, and the heavens
And the angels who praise the Lord
They are engrossed in just that day and night
They were innocent, pure, and made of light
Each one appointed to a specific duty
Then the Lord created a human being
And nominated him as His vicegerent
The Lord commanded, “Obey me,”
“Your self is a reality, but you must worship Me”
Then God addressed one of the angels,
Let it be known this was the angel of death
Go to the land and take a fistful of earth
And then knead it with some water
For sure, this earth was a mix of different varieties
Of different colours, uses, and traits
Hard in some places, soft in some
That is how it could be made into Man
It was kneaded heavily in water
As it became dense, it emanated a smell
The earth was sticky, so says the Quran
It was flexible, which became the character of Man
This kneaded earth then began to dry
And upon drying, it began to sound
The magnificent Creator made this wonderful creation
And embodied within it all beauty and glory
And so was Man fashioned
But without any wondering sight
A soul was transmitted, and a person was created
Who remembered well the original covenant
That he should only follow the Creator
In that alone lies the wellbeing of the world and the Hereafter
As soon as the soul entered the nostrils
He sneezed instantly and praised the Lord
All the angels were commanded by Allah
And thus they bowed before Adam (AS)
And so was he created better than the angels
And Paradise was made his abode
The Lord was the teacher, and Man was the student
Such had become the relation between the two
Later, Hawwa (AS) was created from the muscle
And became the wife of Adam (AS)
And the human race continued from him
And increased from one generation to the next
May we become the deserving vicegerents of the Lord
And may we be saved from hesitating about our Lord
