1. أَمن طالعِ الصبحِ المنير تفجَّرت

    ينابيع نورٍ اعربت عن جمالكم

    Was it from the rising of the radiant dawn that there burst forth

    springs of light that revealed your beauty?

  2. أَمِ المسكُ هبَّت فيه ساريةُ الصبا

    حكى نورةَ الحادي لنا بجمالكم

    Or was it musk through which the night-wandering east breeze blew?

    The camel-driver portrayed Nūra for us through your beauty.

  3. بلى يا شموس الكون تلك شؤنكم

    كنوز معانيكم رموز جلالكم

    Indeed, O suns of the universe, such are your ways:

    the treasures of your meanings, the symbols of your majesty.
