تَخشَعُ شَمسُ النَهارِ طالِعةً

تَخشَعُ شَمسُ النَهارِ طالِعةً

حينَ تَراه وَيَخشَعُ القَمَرُ

حينَ تَراه وَيَخشَعُ القَمَرُ

The sun of day bows humbly as it rises

The sun of day bows in humility as it rises

The daytime sun bows in reverence

when it sees him, and the moon bows too;

When it sees him, and the moon bows in humility.

When it sees Him, and the moon bows down

تَعرِفُهُ أَنَّهُ يَفوقُهُما

تَعرِفُهُ أَنَّهُ يَفوقُهُما

بِالحُسنِ في عين مَن لَهُ بَصَرُ

بِالحُسنِ في عين مَن لَهُ بَصَرُ

you know that he surpasses them both

It knows him to surpass them both

You know He surpasses them both

in beauty, in the eyes of all who have sight.

In beauty, in the eyes of anyone with sight.

In beauty, in the eyes of the seer
