1. O light of the world, with your brilliance
You have illuminated her from the darkness of obscurities

2. I wonder at him who seeks your eminence with his efforts
Yet he is not from the sons of these aspirations

3. He is but like a minaret, if time
Stretched to eternity, cannot attain the loftiness of highlands

4. And more wondrous than him is he who competes with you in bounty
While with you he finds stretched the palm of a seeker

5. He fears you when you appear angry
From rage boiling behind the curtains

6. And he bows in reverence so you'd think
His eyelids clasped with eyebrows

7. So pride yourself that your branch belongs
To a lofty root striking in the clay of glory

8. And if the sea were to rival you, it wouldn't be
Beside your bounty a drinker's palmful of water
