1. Four letters obsessed my heart
And through them faded my worries and thoughts
١. أَحْرُفٌ أَرْبَعٌ بِهَا هَامَ قَلْبِي

2. An Alif that connected creations with perfect creativity
A Lam, well-wishing flowed through it
٢. أَلِفٌ أَلَّفَ الْخِلاَئِقَ بِالصُّنْعِ الجَمِي
لِ فَلاَمٌ عَلَى السَّلامَةِ تَجْرِي
3. Then a Lam, elevating the sublime
Then a Ha, by which I become perplexed and aware
٣. ثُمَّ لاَمٌ زِيَادَةً في الْمَعَالِي
ثُمَّ هَاءٌ بِهَا أَهِيمُ وَأَدْرِي
