Praise be to God, with a praise that cannot be rivaled
Praise be to God, praise that cannot be resisted,
By the glorification of praise, nor by the glorification of a constant praiser.
The praise of One Worthy of Praise, not the praise of the praisers,
لاno حَمدَpraise يعلوrises كحمدِlike the praise of الحمدِpraise فاحظso take joy بهin it
لا حَمدَ يعلو كحمدِ الحمدِ فاحظ به

إنْ كنتَ تحمده فصدقه بادِ
No praise rises like the praise of praise; so take joy in it.
No praise can rise higher than the praise of the Praiseworthy One, perceive Him through it,
If you praise Him, its truth is manifest.
If you praise Him, meet it sincerely,
فهوfor it is الثناءthe praise الذيthat لاno مَيْنَfalsehood يصحبهaccompanies it
فهو الثناء الذي لا مَيْنَ يصحبه
ولاnor يجوزُis possible عليهfor it خَرْقُa breach of معتادwhat is customary
ولا يجوزُ عليه خَرْقُ معتاد
For it is the praise that no falsehood accompanies,
For He is the Praise that no blemish accompanies,
Nor can any breach of the customary apply to it.
Nor is encroaching upon Him something customary.
Sol 6.1
