1. God has granted security from fear and want
To him who had the vicissitudes of time as a neighbor

2. Ma'n the son of Zaida, faithful to his word
And the buyer of glory at a dear price

3. Sees the gifts whose praises endure
As gain when the giver counts them as loss

4. He built for the Shiban an imperishable glory
Until the atoms of the pillars pass away from the bosom of time
