1. الأُمُّ تَلْثُمُ طِفْلَها وتَضُمُّهُ

    حرمٌ سَمَاويُّ الجمالِ مُقَدَّسُ

    The mother kisses her child and holds him close—

    A sacred sanctuary of heavenly beauty.

  2. تَتَألَّهُ الأَفكارُ وهي جِوارَهُ

    وتَعودُ طاهرةً هناكَ الأَنفُسُ

    Thoughts become divine in its presence,

    And souls become pure again there.

  3. حَرَمُ الحَيَاةِ بِطُهْرِها وحَنَانِها

    هل فوقَهُ حَرَمٌ أَجلُّ وأَقدسُ

    Life’s sanctuary, with its purity and tenderness—

    Is there a sanctuary above it, nobler and holier?

  4. بوركتَ يا حَرَمَ الأُمومَةِ والصِّبا

    كم فيكَ تكتملُ الحَيَاةُ وتَقْدُسُ

    May you be blessed, O sanctuary of motherhood and childhood!

    How life becomes whole and holy in you!
