1. يا بركة المجد يا غيث النوال الهام

    والمروي الصارم الظامي بماءِ الهام

    O pool of glory, O pouring rain of bounty!

    And you who quench the thirsty sword with the water of heads!

  2. كم قد جبرت فقير وكم كسرت الهام

    يا عين علم الإله وسرّه المرموز

    How many a poor man you have restored, and how many heads you have broken!

    O essence of God's knowledge and His secret veiled in symbols!

  3. بك نهنَ عشر العقول وحارت الأوهام

    Before you, the ten intellects [verb unclear in the supplied text], and imaginations were bewildered.
