The tune on the strings has an echo responding,

ومجر على الأوتار صوتا يجاوبه

1. The tune on the strings has an echo responding,
Its clauses adorned and its phrases flowing.

١. وَمَجرٍ عَلى الأَوتارِ صَوتاً يُجاوِبُه
مُعَقرَبَةٌ أَصداغُهُ وَذَوائِبُه

2. When the breeze blows lightly, it gleams with a ray,
Illuminating when the stars of night fade.

٢. إِذا رَيَّحَتهُ الراحُ لاحَ بِعارِضٍ
يُنيرُ إِذا ما اللَيلُ غابَت كَواكِبُه

3. Turn it gently, and this garden's breeze gives life,
And this trustee of God, his gifts bring joy.

٣. أَدِرها فَهَذا الرَوضُ يُحيي نَسيمُهُ
وَهَذا أَمينُ اللَهِ تُغني مَواهِبُه

4. The world is now lit with a blossoming flower,
Adorned by the Prince of Believers and his scribe.

٤. وَأَصبَحَتِ الدُنيا تُنيرُ بِزَهرَةٍ
كَساها أَميرُ المُؤمِنينَ وَكاتِبُه
