Verse 1:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious and Wise,
Beneath the bright glow of Tanzanian skies,
We gather as seekers of truth and of light,
With hearts full of faith and our vision held bright.
In the footsteps of Arqam, our legacy stands,
Building the future with dutiful hands.
Chorus:
O Daarul-Arqam, a beacon of grace,
Where knowledge and virtue warmly embrace!
Guided by Qur’an, inspired to lead,
In word and in wisdom, in character and deed.
Daarul-Arqam, forever we’ll shine,
Seeking the blessings of mercy Divine!
Verse 2:
Through science and numbers, through history’s page,
We learn for tomorrow, we grow with each stage.
With Adab and Akhlaq in all that we do,
Respecting our teachers and parents so true.
United in brotherhood, peaceful and strong,
To serve our great nation is where we belong.
Bridge / Dua:
O Allah, increase us in knowledge and might,
Keep our feet steadfast upon what is right.
Bless Tanzania with peace and harmony’s glow,
As torches of wisdom wherever we go.
Chorus:
O Daarul-Arqam, a beacon of grace,
Where knowledge and virtue warmly embrace!
Guided by Qur’an, inspired to lead,
In word and in wisdom, in character and deed.
