1. طبيعتنا التي لا ظل فيها

    لها من نسل أربعة تتاجُ

    Our nature, in which there is no shadow,

    Has offspring from the progeny of four [final word uncertain].

  2. فأرض أصبحت ماء وأمسى

    هواء ذلك الماء الأجاجُ

    So earth became water, and then

    That bitter, briny water became air.

  3. وصار هواؤنا من بعد ناراً

    بها حسن اختلاط وامتزاجُ

    And our air thereafter became fire;

    In it are fine mingling and blending.

  4. وحر بعده قد صار نارا

    بها حسنَ ائتلاف وازدواجُ

    And heat, after it, has indeed become fire;

    In it are fine harmony and pairing.

  5. وصارت نارنا من أرضنا

    يتمّ بها التساوي والمزاجُ

    And our fire came into being from our earth;

    Through it, equality and mixture reach completion.

  6. ومن تقليبنا طبقات هذي ال

    أراضي لاحت السبل الفجاجُ

    And from our turning over the layers of these

    Lands, the broad paths appeared.

  7. وقد حصلت لنا أرض جديد

    لنا من شمسها أبداً سراجُ

    And we have indeed obtained a new earth;

    From its sun, we have a lamp forever.
