1. وبَنَى بِدارِ المُلكِ مَسجِدَ رحمةٍ

    فيه يُراقِبُ ربَّهُ ويُناجِي

    And he built at the seat of kingship a mosque of mercy,

    Where he is mindful of his Lord and communes with Him.

  2. تردِيدُ ذِكرِ اللهِ فيه أنسُهُ

    لا أنسَ بالأرمالِ والأهزاجِ

    Repeating the remembrance of God there is his delight,

    Not delight in ramal and hazaj rhythms.

  3. رمضانُ قَد وفَّاهُ حَقَّ عبادةٍ

    تَمَّت فليسَ تَمَامُهُ بِخَرَاجِ

    He has indeed given Ramadan its due in worship,

    Made complete; its completion is not through tribute.

  4. فإمامُنا في مسجِدِ الأذكار أو

    في حَومَةِ الإلجامِ والإسرَاجِ

    So our imam is in the mosque of remembrance, or

    In the arena of bridling and saddling.
