6 April 2011, Cyprus, Turkey:

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim via Sufilive had issued an order to his mureed/followers/listeners to recite 'Qul Ya Azeem' qasidah. This, he said must be observed in view of an impending calamity. Please refer to sufilive.com for details. We quote therefrom, the lyrics and meaning of the qasidah.

Qul ya 'Azeem antal 'Azeem

qad hammanaa hammun 'Azeem

wa kullu hammin hammana

ya huunu bismika ya Azeem

Say O tremendous! You are the Tremendous One

We have been afflicted with a grave concern

And every concern we are worried about

becomes easy with the mention of Your Name, O Great One

Antal qadeem qadeemun fil azal

antal lateef lateefun lam tazal

'Anna azil maa qad nazaal

min faadhil khatbis-shadeed

You are the ancient one, ancient one

You are the subtle with subtleness everlasting

Remove from us what has befallen us

of grave and difficult afflictions

CHORUS
Qul ya 'Azeem antal 'Azeem
qad hammanaa hammun 'Azeem

wa kullu hammin hammana
ya huunu bismika ya Azeem 

Hayyun qadeem qadeemun waajidu
baaqi ghanee ghaniyyun maajidu
'Adlun ilaahi ilahun waahidu
barrun ra'uf ra'ufun bil 'abid
Living Ancient, Ancient and Generous
Immortal Rich, Rich and Glorious
Just God, one God
God is Tender, tender with the servant

CHORUS

Wa lin nabiyyi salli ya salaam
minna salaatun maa salaam
yawmal jazaa nahnaa salaam
mimmaa nakhaa fu ya majeed
And upon the Prophet of Peace
From us send greetings and blessings
Grant us safety on Judgment Day
From all things which we fear, O Glorious One

CHORUS

Wal 'aali was sahbil usood
saadu bihi beedan wa sood
laa siyyamaa maahil hashood
sayfu' ilaah ibnul waleed
And the lions from the Family and Companions
Became masters through him, regardless of being white or black
Especially the one who wipes out great armies
the Sword of Allah (Khalid) son of al-Waleed

CHORUS
Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik 'alayhi wa 'alaa alaih
