1. يا مَنَ رَأى القُبة الَّتي اِجتَمَعَت

    مَناقب الخُلد في مَناقِبِها

    O you who have seen the dome in which are gathered

    the splendors of Paradise among its own splendors.

  2. كَأَنَّها جَنَةٌ مُزَخرَفَةٌ

    وَيَقصر الوَهم عَن عَجائِبِها

    It is like an ornamented garden,

    and imagination falls short of its wonders.

  3. دانَت لَها الجِنُّ عِندَ رُؤيَتِها

    لِلأنس إِذ نَحنُ في غَرائِبِها

    Because of it, the jinn, upon seeing it, submitted

    to humankind, as we were amid its marvels.

  4. في سماها ديمة تَسحُّ بِلا

    سَحابة انشئت لِساكبها

    In its sky, a steady rain pours down without

    a cloud created for the one who pours it.

  5. تَهمي لَنا وَالسَماء مصحية

    لا يُرتَجى الدُر مِن سحائِبها

    It pours down for us while the sky is clear;

    no pearls are hoped for from its clouds.

  6. فيها نقوش يَحكي منمنمها

    منمنم الرَوض في جَوانِبِها

    Within it are designs whose fine tracery mirrors

    the fine tracery of the garden along its sides.
