أبنية فياحة منيرة

أبنية فياحة منيرة

في كل قطر من بناه كوره

في كل قطر من بناه كوره

Spacious, radiant buildings,

In every quarter of his buildings lies a town,

لملك راياته منصورة

لملك راياته منصورة

قد مد حول الخافقين سوره

قد مد حول الخافقين سوره

For a king whose banners are victorious,

Who has stretched his wall around the two horizons,

وحط فوق زجل سريره

وحط فوق زجل سريره

لو أدرك المختار أو عصوره

لو أدرك المختار أو عصوره

And set his throne above the clamor.

Had he lived to see the Chosen One or his times,

لأنزل الرحمن فيه سوره

لأنزل الرحمن فيه سوره

أو نطقت أبنية معموره

أو نطقت أبنية معموره

The All-Merciful would have revealed a surah about him.

Or had inhabited buildings spoken,

لانطق الله له قصوره

لانطق الله له قصوره

وقلن أقوالا له مأثوره

وقلن أقوالا له مأثوره

God would have made his palaces speak for him,

And they would have uttered memorable words in his praise:

لا أفقد اللَه العلي دوره

لا أفقد اللَه العلي دوره

بهاءه وضوءه ونوره

بهاءه وضوءه ونوره

“May God Most High never deprive his dwellings

Of his splendor, his brightness, and his light.”
