Allah, Allah Akbar, Allah! Ja wiem, ja dobrze wiem, że ciebie stworzył Allah, bym jego chwalił, bo czyż nie mając ciebie byłbym szalonym muezinem? Bo czyżbym wysyłał w niebo głos wychwalający Allaha nie myśląc, że dźwięk jego zbudzi ciebie? Allah Akbar, Allah!

Allah, Allah Akhbar, Allah! Je sais, oh oui, je sais qu'Allah te créa et je l'adore; si tu n'étais pas à moi serais-je, serais-je le fou qui chante? Et mes longues et chaudes prières qui s'envolent vers Allah n'est-ce pas pour dire que je t'aime! Allah Akhbar, Allah!
