1. البرقُ يلمعُ والرعود تسبح

    والغيثُ ينزل والمنازلُ تصبحُ

    Lightning flashes, and the thunders glorify God.

    And rain descends, and the abodes become

  2. مخضرةٌ هاماتها وبقاعُها

    والزهر في روضاتها يتفتح

    Verdant at their summits and across their grounds.

    And blossoms unfold in their gardens.

  3. فترى جنانَ الخلد أنشأها لنا

    بصدور أعلام إذا هي تشرح

    Thus you see the gardens of eternity He has created for us

    Within the breasts of luminaries, when they are opened.

  4. وقطوفها تدنو فتطعم من له

    ذوق إذا هي بالعبارة تفصح

    And their fruit-clusters draw near, nourishing whoever has

    Taste, when they speak plainly in words.

  5. فالخلق منه إذا نظرت مهللٌ

    ومكبِّر ومعظِّمٌ ومُسَبِّح

    Thus creation, which comes from Him, proclaims His oneness, if you look,

    And proclaims His greatness, exalts Him, and glorifies Him.

  6. والكل مثن بالذي هو أهلُه

    فالله يُعطي مَن يشاء ويمنحُ

    And all offer the praise of which He is worthy.

    For God gives to whomever He wills, and bestows gifts.
