Allah Allah Dedikçe (Gelin Allah Diyelim) – Abdur Rahman’s Corner
Peace, one and all…
I wanted to share a beautiful ilahi, sung by the Naksibendi Osmanli Dergah, under beloved Shaykh Abdul Karim Effendi.
Turkish Lyrics
Gelin Allah diyelim
Kalpten pası silelim
Âlemler seyredelim
Allah Allah dedikçe.
Nerde tevhid çekilir
Melekler sâf sâf gelir
Hepsi tekbir getirir
Allah Allah dedikçe.
Zikr-i Hakk’a başlandı
İsm-i Celâl hızlandı
Arş-ı âlâ sallandı
Allah Allah dedikçe.
Bağlı kapı açılır
Hak bâtıldan seçilir
Gizli sırlar açılır
Allah Allah dedikçe.
Gönüller şâdan olur
Kaygudan azâd olur
Can mülkü âbâd olur
Allah Allah dedikçe.
Gâfil olma Nâciya
Hakkı zikret daima
Seni zikreyler Hûda
Allah Allah dedikçe
English Translation
Come, let us call upon Allah,
Let us wipe the rust from our hearts,
Let us behold the realms of existence,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
Wherever the Oneness is proclaimed,
Angels arrive in ranks,
All of them chant the *Takbir*,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
The remembrance of the Truth has begun,
The Name of Majesty gathers momentum,
The Supreme Throne trembles,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
Closed doors are opened,
Truth is distinguished from falsehood,
Hidden secrets are revealed,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
Hearts are filled with joy,
Freed from all worry,
The realm of the soul flourishes,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
Do not be heedless, O Naciya,
Remember the Truth unceasingly;
The Lord remembers you, too,
As we chant “Allah, Allah.”
