Have you seen a dome built by me in the factories

أأبصرت مني في المصانع قبة

1. Have you seen a dome built by me in the factories
Where fortune adorned me from every side?

١. أَأَبْصَرْتَ مِنِّي فِي الْمَصَانِعِ قُبَّةً
تَأَنَّقَ فِيَّ السَّعْدُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ

2. My lines are recited on me continuously
While lines of misfortune are displayed under me

٢. فَتُتْلَى سُطُورُ الْكَتْبِ فَوْقِيَ دَائِماً
وَتُعْرَضُ مِنْ تَحْتِي سُطُورُ الْكَتَائِبِ

3. In my courtyard is a place for one seeking mercy
And refuge for the frightened and a stopping place for the penitent

٣. وَفِي سَاحَتِي مَسْعىً لِطَالِبِ رَحْمَةٍ
وَمَأَمَنُ مُرْتَاعِ وَمَوْقِفُ تَائِبِ

4. Say that I am like the Kaaba for the hopeful
Even if I have appeared in the garb of a deceiver

٤. فَقُلْ فِي إِنِّي لِلْمُؤَمِّلِ كَعْبَةٌ
وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْرِزْتُ فِي زِيِّ كَاعِبِ

5. I am the beautiful, radiant one whose beauty
Makes gems atop the hills and dunes unnecessary

٥. أَنَا الْغَادَةُ الْحَسْنَاءُ يُغْنِي جَمَالُهَا
عَنِ الدُّرِّ مِنْ فَوْقِ الطُّلَى وَالتَّرَائِبِ

6. Beauty is only what comes naturally
Without struggling or earning like a worker

٦. وَمَا الْحْسْنُ إِلاَّ مَا يَكْونُ طَبيعَةً
بِلاَ جُهْدِ مُحْتَالٍ وَلاَ كَسْبِ كَاسِبِ

7. And of my signs is that in my pride
I sat at the door of the king like a guard

٧. وَمِنْ آيِتِي أَنَّي عَلَى حَالِ عِزَّتِي
قَعَدْتُ بِبَابِ الْمُلْكِ مَقْعَدَ حَاجِبِ

8. I point to what he has of majesty
And how many absent witnesses show my hidden beauty

٨. أَدُلُّ عَلَى مَا حَازَهُ مِنْ جَلاَلِةٍ
وَكَمْ شَاهِدٍ أَبْدَي مَحَاسِنَ غَائِبِ

9. So may the whole group remain under the shade of
God's blessing, enveloped in good consequences

٩. فَدَامَ جَمِيعَ الشَّمْلِ فِي ظِلِّ نِعْمَةٍ
مِنَ اللهِ مَشْمٌولاً بِحُسْنِ الْعَوَاقِبِ
