تَتيهُ بِكَ الدُنيا وَتَزهو المَنابِرُ

تَتيهُ بِكَ الدُنيا وَتَزهو المَنابِرُ

وَتُشرِقُ نوراً حينَ تَبدو المَقاصِرُ

وَتُشرِقُ نوراً حينَ تَبدو المَقاصِرُ

The world takes pride in you, and the pulpits exult;

The world wanders in pride because of you, and the pulpits exult,

And the private chambers shine with light when you appear.

And the royal chambers radiate light whenever they come into view.

أَلا يا أَمينَ اللَهِ وَالمَلِكَ الَّذي

أَلا يا أَمينَ اللَهِ وَالمَلِكَ الَّذي

إِذا ما بَدا تَحبو إِلَيهِ الأَكابِرُ

إِذا ما بَدا تَحبو إِلَيهِ الأَكابِرُ

O God's trusted one and king who,

O Trustee of God, and the King towards whom,

whenever he appears, is approached on hands and knees by the mighty:

Whenever he appears, the great ones crawl in submission.

لَبِستَ رِداءَ الفَخرِ في صُلبِ آدَمٍ

لَبِستَ رِداءَ الفَخرِ في صُلبِ آدَمٍ

فَما تَنتَهي إِلّا إِلَيكَ المَفاخِرُ

فَما تَنتَهي إِلّا إِلَيكَ المَفاخِرُ

You donned the robe of glory in Adam's loins;

You donned the cloak of glory while yet in the loins of Adam,

So all glories culminate in you alone.

For all glories find their ultimate end only in you.

وَلِلَّهِ بَدرٌ في السَماءِ مُنَوَّرٌ

وَلِلَّهِ بَدرٌ في السَماءِ مُنَوَّرٌ

وَأَنتَ لَنا بَدرٌ عَلى الأَرضِ زاهِرُ

وَأَنتَ لَنا بَدرٌ عَلى الأَرضِ زاهِرُ

And God has a luminous full moon in the sky,

To God belongs a full moon in the sky, illuminated,

And you are our radiant full moon upon the earth.

And you are for us a full moon upon the earth, radiant.
