1 Jama’ar Ɗan Allah, Ku Taru ku yi murna,
Ku taru, ku taru a Baitalahmi.
Zo mu gaishe shi, Sarkin mala’iku.

Mu yi masa sujada, Mai Centonmu.

2 Zo dai ku gan shi, jariri marar ƙarfi,
Yesu Ɗan Allah ne Madauwami.
Aka haife shi, ba a halicce shi ba. [Korus]

3 Rundunan Sama, yi ta rera waƙa,

Gaisuwa mai gaskiya mu ke yi maka.
Kai, Kalmar Allah, cike da alheri. [Korus]
