1. Allah be praised, a bright dawn rises
And a crescent like an elegant bow

2. Appears among the daughters of the bier of darkness
Unblemished by the murk of night

3. People bustle - has the one who hastened
Fled them to the slow stages?

4. A Yemeni, a Persian, a Syrian
And a wanderer from the West traveling

5. I did not mean the shore of the sea
But rather one with radiant shores

6. A king reclines on his throne - will he find
In both worlds, a fortress like himself?
