1. O sign of eloquent ones, is there a glance
That heals with the beauty of its inclusiveness, the souls?
١. عَلاّمَة البَلغاء هَل مِن نَظرَة
تَشفى بِحُسنِ شُمولِه الاِرواح
2. And you have the glories in the wilderness as adornment,
All people find comfort in its beauty.
٢. وَلَكَ المَفاخِرُ في البَرِيَّة حِليَة
كُل الاِنام لِحُسنِها تَرتاحُ
3. So you are the one whom time has witnessed with its glory,
And you are among the first of guidance, a lantern.
٣. فَلأَنتَ مَن شَهِدَ الزَمانُ بِمَجدِهِ
وَلأَنتَ بَينَ أَولى الهُدى مِصباح
4. And you are a meadow blooming with virtues,
Goblets have passed around its fragrances.
٤. وَلأَنتَ رَوضُ في الفَضائِلِ مُزهِر
دارَت عَلى نَفَحاتِهِ الاِقداحُ
5. Forever leaning towards its fragrant promontory
Is the leaning of yearning that the wind has stirred.
٥. أَبدا يَميلُ لِعُرفِهِ مُتَعَطِّر
ميل الغَواتي قَد شَجاها الراح
6. With its breeze, youth forgets the intoxication
Of what has moaned, languished, and intertwined.
٦. بِنَسيمِها تَنسى الصَبابَة نَشوَة
ما ناحَ أَيكى وَفاحَ اِقاح
