1. For how pleasant is this abode and how noble this refuge
For whoever hopes to succeed and gain

2. Seeks other than it, a home or encampment
Come now, O son of Abdullah, focus your eyes and kindle

3. From the light that illuminates what was dark to them
God has guided you, you are a seer

4. The best of all people in the world altogether

5. So He has granted with it a clear light and blessed
And entrusted you leadership of the people, pressing onward

6. With the men who come after, though blind

7. Did your resolves complain, which God has targeted who He targeted

8. Of harm perturbed its builder, who imagined
Sakhr saw in their talk and your affliction

9. Scenes that shook him, so he greeted and surrendered
Were you as they supposed, fearing their might?

13. To their people, or were they a defiant army?

And God's light filled their dwellings

15. Illuminating what was dark before
