1. ما للعوالم جُمّعت في قبة

    قد شادها كرم الإمام محمد

    How is it that the worlds are gathered in a dome

    raised by the generosity of the Imam Muhammad,

  2. في صفح صرح بالزجاج مموْهِ

    وبجود مولاي الإمام ممهْدِ

    on the surface of a palace overlaid with glass,

    and made ready by the bounty of my lord, the Imam?

  3. ما إن رأيت ولا سمعت بطائرٍ

    عن ثوب موشيِّ الرياش مجرَدِ

    Never have I seen or heard of a bird

    stripped of its robe of embroidered plumage.

  4. إن لم تكن تلك الطيور تغرَدْت

    فلشكر هذا العيد سجع مُغرَّدِ

    If those birds have not sung,

    then a warbler's cooing gives thanks for this festival.

  5. صُفَّتْ عليه للفواكه كُلُّ ما

    قد عاهدته بدوحها المتعوّدِ

    Arrayed upon it are all the fruits that

    you have known upon their familiar spreading trees.

  6. لو أبصرتُ صنهاجةٌ أوضاعَه

    دانت له أملاكُها بتعبُّدِ

    Had Sanhaja beheld its arrangements,

    her kings would have submitted to it in worship.

  7. عوَّذتَني الصنع الجميلَ تَفَضّلاً

    لا زلتَ خير مُعَوَّدٍ ومُعَوِّدِ

    You have graciously protected me with kindly deeds;

    may you ever be the best receiver and giver of favors.

  8. وبسورة الأنعام كم من آيةٍ

    فيها لقارِ بالنَوال مُجَوّدِ

    And in the surah al-An'am, how many a verse

    is there for a reciter accomplished in generosity!
