1. ذا مسجدٌ سُرَّ أربابُ السُّجود بهِ

    وجامعٌ جامعٌ للساجدِ الراكعْ

    This is a mosque that has gladdened those devoted to prostration,

    and a congregational mosque gathering those who prostrate and bow.

  2. بناه الله منشيه وواضعه

    وللقواعد من أركانه رافع

    God built it; its founder and builder,

    and the raiser of the foundations of its pillars,

  3. يرجو من الله في العقبى مثوبَته

    فيا له بثواب الله من طامع

    hopes for his reward from God in the hereafter.

    So, what a seeker of God's reward he is!

  4. دعا إلى صالح الأعمال حينئذٍ

    من كانَ لله فيه خاضعاً خاشع

    He then called to righteous deeds

    those who were submissive and reverent before God within it.

  5. فالله يجزيه عما كانَ أنشأه

    خيراً وأكرمه من فضله الواسع

    So may God reward him for what he built

    with good, and honor him from His vast bounty.

  6. إنَّ العِمارة قد زانت عمارتها

    أرِّخْ بتعمير عبد القادر الجامع

    Indeed, the building has adorned its town, al-‘Amarah;

    Record the date with: ‘Abd al-Qadir's construction of the congregational mosque.’
