[Djamila]

And in Bosnian.

Tebe, Allaha, (God)
Gospodara svjetova, hvalimo, (Lord of the world, gratitude)
Milostivog, Samilosnog, (of Graciousness, of mercy)
Vladara Dana sudnjeg, (Keeper of the Last Day)
Tebi se klanjamo i od Tebe pomoć tražimo! (You we praise, of you we seek out help)
Uputi nas na Pravi put, (Put us to the right path)
na Put onih kojima si milost Svoju darovao, (The path of those with your blessing)
a ne onih koji su protiv sebe srdžbu izazvali, niti onih koji su zalutali! (not those who bring your rage, or those who've wandered astray)

[Laila]

Djamila I would love to hear this actually read out. I like the sound of Polish and if Bosnian sounds similar I would probably very much enjoy listening to it.

[Djamila]

Polish and Bosnian sound somewhat the same, yes. Bosnian is much deeper, Polish drag queens sound like little Bosnian girls. But when a Bosnian speaks religiously - an Imam, or a Muezzin, or someone reading the Koran - they generally speak rather high and nasal, it's kind of the religious style of speaking.

But I'll see what I can find to share with you. I'm sure I have something!
