one toward whose radiant brow the night traveler journeys,

وَجامِعاً في كَفِّهِ بِالنَدى

And who unites in his palm, through bounty

and valor, water and fire.

and valor, water and fire—

إِهنأ فَقَد نِلتَ الَّذي تَشتَهي

إِهنأ فَقَد نِلتَ الَّذي تَشتَهي

نَفسُكَ وَاشكُر نِعَم الباري

نَفسُكَ وَاشكُر نِعَم الباري
