1. Praise be to God, praise that cannot be resisted,
The praise of One Worthy of Praise, not the praise of the praisers,
١. الحمد لله حمداً لا يقاومه
تحميدُ حمدٍ ولا تحميدُ حمادِ
2. No praise can rise higher than the praise of the Praiseworthy One, perceive Him through it,
If you praise Him, meet it sincerely,
٢. لا حَمدَ يعلو كحمدِ الحمدِ فاحظ به
إنْ كنتَ تحمده فصدقه بادِ
3. For He is the Praise that no blemish accompanies,
Nor is encroaching upon Him something customary.
٣. فهو الثناء الذي لا مَيْنَ يصحبه
ولا يجوزُ عليه خَرْقُ معتاد
