1. صلى عليه الله من سيِّدٍ

    لولاه لم نعلم ولم نهتدِ

    May God bless him—what a master!

    But for him, we would neither have known nor found guidance.

  2. قد قرنَ الله به ذكرَه

    في كلِّ يوم فاعتبر تَرشَدِ

    God has indeed coupled His own mention with his,

    Every day; so take heed, and you will be rightly guided.

  3. عشرٌ خفيَّاتٌ وعَشر إذا

    أُعلنَّ بالتأذينِ في المسجدِ

    Ten are concealed, and ten when

    They are proclaimed through the call to prayer in the mosque.

  4. فهذه عشرون مقرونةٌ

    بأفضل الذكر إلى الموعد

    So these are twenty, coupled

    With the finest remembrance until the appointed time.
