Angels hearken
Oh Allah! Let the angels chorus my hamd
Let them hear the praise – most beautiful sound
Ya Rabb with a new batch of angels at every fajr
May they all witness for me on yaum al hashr
Oh Allah for each tashahud in prayer
Let the angels echo all the way to heavens stairs
Ya Rabb let my insignificant hamd and tasbih
Be recorded and multiplied by the malaikatihi
Ya Allah no atom of good goes unheeded
For my akhirah multiple reward is needed
Ya Rabbi add ikhlas and kushu in every salaah
Let the angels amplify my record, see me to janaah
Allah, with me the angels need to work overtime
Sift through my deeds remove the grime
Ya Rabbi let me be always between khauf wa rajaa’
Let it all add up to my falaah
Ya Rabb as the angels change their shift
Let both sets record, to heaven our goodness lift
Ya Allah your maliaka – best of mathematicians
Record goodness, deeds by accruing, adding and multiplication
Ya Allah see us through to heaven
And the angels echo amen
