1. This religion's law is better than any creed
It stands fast, is not abrogated nor abrogates
١. أَحسِن بِهَذا الشَرعِ مِن مِلَّةٍ
يَثبُتُ لا يُنسَخُ فيما نُسِخ
2. Strange wonders have come, woe to us!
It's as if we live in a world bewitched
٢. جاءَت أَعاجيبُ فَوَيحٌ لَنا
كَأَنَّنا في عالَمٍ قَد مُسِخ
3. The body's like a garment on its spirit
To be stripped off, recreated or wear out
٣. وَالجُسمُ كَالثَوبِ عَلى رَوحِهِ
يُنزِعُ أَن يُخلِقَ أَو يَتَّسِخ
4. Be the offspring righteous or corrupt
Like a branch from its father's root has sprung
٤. وَالنَجلُ إِن بَرّاً وَإِن فاجِراً
كَالغُصنِ مِن أَصلِ أَبيهِ فُسِخ
