Ugmal sullu addad

Eldest of all Fathers
Ku bakana Who awoke
Ana aznân To darkness
Undu abad Beneath the mountain
Ku ganaga Who walked alone
Tur ganâd abanul Through halls of stone
Durin ku bin-amrad Durin who is Deathless
Uzbad Khazad-dûmu Lord of Khazad-dûm
Ku baraka Who cleaved
Aznân The Dark
ra karaka And broke
atkât The silence
ala lukhudizu! This is your light!
ala galabizu! This is your word!
ala ukratizu!  This is your glory!
Khazad-dûm! The Dwarrowdelf of Khazad-dûm!
