In a masjied in the Plain
Was the seed of Arqam sown;
As the seed of the Baobab tree
Arqam School has proudly grown.
Chorus:
Maa ahsanal kuliyyah fee janoobi Afreeqiyyah
Ilm mun nur! ha ha ha ilm mun nur! ha ha ha
This is the chant of Darul Arqam;
We join now with those before us one,
Our search for knowledge makes us one.
Al-Mustapha - the chosen one;
Beacon of light to everyone;
He brought us the Holy Kitaab
To save us on Day of Hisaab
Chorus:
Maa ahsanal kuliyyah fee janoobi Afreeqiyyah
Ilm mun nur! ha ha ha ilm mun nur! ha ha ha
This is the chant of Darul Arqam;
