1. تَعالى الواحِدُ الصَمدُ الجَليلُ

    وَحَشى أَن يَكونَ لَهُ عَديلُ

    Exalted is the One, the Self-Sufficient, the Majestic,

    And far be it that He should have an equal.

  2. هُوَ المَلِكُ العَزيزُ وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ

    سِواهُ فَهُوَ مُنتَقَصٌ ذَليلُ

    He is the King, the Mighty, and everything

    Other than Him is deficient and lowly.

  3. وَما مِن مَذهَبٍ إِلّا إِلَيهِ

    وَإِنَّ سَبيلَهُ لَهُوَ السَبيلُ

    And there is no path but to Him,

    And indeed His way is truly the way.

  4. وَإِنَّ لَهُ لَمَنّا لَيسَ يُحصى

    وَإِنَّ عَطائَهُ لَهُوَ الجَزيلُ

    And indeed His bounty cannot be counted,

    And indeed His giving is truly abundant.

  5. وَكُلُّ قَضائِهِ عَدلٌ عَلَينا

    وَكُلُّ بَلائِهِ حَسَنٌ جَميلُ

    And all His decrees upon us are just,

    And all His trials are good and beautiful.

  6. وَكُلُّ مُفَوَّهٍ أَثنى عَلَيهِ

    لِيَبلُغَهُ فَمُنحَسِرٌ كَليلُ

    And every eloquent speaker who has praised Him

    In seeking to reach Him is left spent and weary.

  7. أَيا مَن قَد تَهاوَنَ بِالمَنايا

    وَمَن قَد غَرَّهُ الأَمَلُ الطَويلُ

    O you who have made light of death,

    And you whom long hope has deceived,

  8. أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّما الدُنيا غُرورٌ

    وَأَنَّ مُقامَنا فيها قَليلُ

    Have you not seen that this world is but deception,

    And that our stay in it is brief?
