1. عيدانُ قَيناتِنا مِن تَحتِ أَرجُلِها

    وَعودُ قينَتِكُم في حُجرِها باتا

    Our songstresses’ lutes lie beneath their feet,

    and your songstress’s lute spent the night in her lap.

  2. وَما حَكَينَ النَصارى في لِباسِهِمُ

    وَلا بَغَينَ كَأَهلِ السَبتِ إِسباتا

    And they did not imitate the Christians in their dress,

    nor did they seek Sabbath rest like the people of the Sabbath.

  3. لَكِنَّهُنَّ حَنيفاتٌ بِمَزعَمِنا

    ذَكَّرنَنا اللَهَ تَمجيداً وَإِخباتا

    But they are upright in faith, as we claim;

    they reminded us of God through glorification and humble submission.

  4. يُثبِتنَ رَبّاً قَديراً لا كِفاءَ لَهُ

    وَما عَمَدنَ لِغَيرِ اللَهِ إِثباتا

    They affirm an all-powerful Lord who has no equal,

    nor did they intend to affirm any other than God.
