ܐܪܡܝܐ (Aramice)

Alaha, Alaha, Shmakh raba wav,
Abdarkh amrakh nater wav,
Urkha d'mhaymne ai wav,
Alaha rkhman Alaha,
Alaha mrakhman Alaha.

Amrakh netar,
Rkhme d'lakh ne-ol,
Aykh tsipparta nezmar,

Alaha mrakhman Alaha.

Shmakh b'lishane,
Khubakh b'lebawate,
B'dukkyate d'zehta,

Alaha mrakhman Alaha.

Iwan ammar melleh,
Naphsheh l'Alaha aser,
Khaze khazyeh b'aye,
Alaha rkhman Alaha,
Alaha mrakhman Alaha.

Türkçe (anlam)

Allah, Allah, adın yücedir,
Kulun emrini tutar,
Müminlerin yolu budur,
Allah rahmandır Allah,
Allah rahimdir Allah.

Emrini tutalım,
Rahmetine girelim,
Kuş gibi terennüm edelim,
Allah rahmandır Allah,
Allah rahimdir Allah.

Adın dillerdedir,
Sevgin yüreklerdedir,
Korkulu yerlerde,
Allah rahmandır Allah,
Allah rahimdir Allah.

Yunus sözünü söyler,
Ruhunu Allah'a bağlar,
Gözüyle O'nu görmeyi diler,
Allah rahmandır Allah,
Allah rahimdir Allah.
