Idul Fitri
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar !
La ilaha ilallah, Allahu Akbar !
Allahu Akbar, Walillahilhamdu !
a harmonious, joyous voice
echo all around earth, sea, and sky
everybody cheer up, everything shine
a victorious, amorous sound
soar so beautifully, proudly and confidently
human and nature join in gorgeous celebration
all hearts bow to Allah
all eyes cries in faithfully pray
all families smile to face a new day
only to God, only to Allah
all thanks dedicate, all best wishes go
all praises ascend, all greetings deliver
the Most Merciful, the Greatest
forgive us, our children, our parents
guide us to the bright path, to the right way
the Most Powerful, the Greatest
bless us, our nature, our environment
save us, our friends, our families, our leaders
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar !
La ilaha ilallah, Allahu Akbar !
Allahu Akbar, Walillahilhamdu !
