    مَدَدُ الوَهَّابِ صانَهُ

    وعَناءً وإهانَهْ

    وأَماناً وإِعانَهْ

    safety and assistance.

    فيهِ للقومِ أَمانَهْ

    in it is His pledge of safety for the people.

  5. يضرِبُ الحاسِدُ بالسَّهْ

    مِ فلا يُخْطي جَنانَهْ

    The envier strikes with the ar-

    row, and does not miss his own heart.
