1. يا ناظِرا يَعْجَب مما رأى

    غيرُ الذي تُبْصِرُه أَعْجَبُ

    O beholder who marvels at what he has seen,

    Something other than what you behold is more wondrous.

  2. قد رفَع اللهُ لمن شادَها

    منزلةً من دُونِها الكوكب

    God has raised for the one who built it

    A station beneath which the star lies,

  3. عامرةً بالشكر مأنوسةً

    بالحمد لا تَفْنَى ولا تَخْرب

    Flourishing with gratitude, enlivened

    By praise; it neither perishes nor falls into ruin.

  4. هِمَّتُه في تلك مرفوعة

    وجُودُه في هذه يَقْرُب

    His aspiration in that is exalted,

    And his generosity in this is close at hand.

  5. لا سَلب اللهُ له نعمةً

    فإنها لاشك لا تُسْلَب

    May God never deprive him of a blessing,

    For it will doubtless never be taken away.
