Islamic Prayer Iqamah (Iqämah/Iqama)

Islamic Prayer Iqamah
After the Adhan; when the muslims are assembled at the place of worship, a second call (iqamah) is recited by one of the group. This signals the start of the congregational salah. It is similar to adhan except that it is recited faster but in a lower tone. 
Here are the words to the iqama:
اللهُ اكْبَرُ اللهُ اكْبَرْ
 Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
God is Great, God is Great
اَشْهَدُ اَن لَّا اِلَه اِلَّا لله اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَدًا رَّسُولُ الله
Ash-hadu allaa illaha ilAllah, - Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasul-Allah
I bear witness that there is no God But Allah, - I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ
Hayya ‘alas salaah , - Hayya ‘alal falaah
Come to the prayer, - Come to the Success
قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ
 Qad qaamatis salaah, - Qad qaamatis salaah
The prayer is being established, - the prayer is being established 
اللهُ اكْبَرُ اللهُ اكْبَرْ
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
God is Great, God is Great

لَا اِلَهَ اِلَّا الله
La illaha il-Allah
There is no God But Allah
