1. بوركت يا أرض أنت أمي

    مذ آدم جاء والدا

    Blessed are you, O earth; you are my mother,

    Ever since Adam came as a father.

  2. وجنة كنت منك حب

    يمون كلا وحاصدا

    And you were a garden; from you came grain

    That sustains the dependent and the reaper.

  3. كونت للبهم ما رعته

    وكنت للناس مسجدا

    You brought forth for the young livestock what they grazed upon,

    And you were a place of prostration for humankind.

  4. وكم ولدت البنين أهل

    التقى نبياً وعابداً

    And how many sons you bore, people of

    Piety—prophets and worshippers.

  5. ولنترك البدء أنت أمي

    لحضننك الحدب لي غدا

    And let us leave the beginning aside: you are my mother;

    Your tender embrace will be mine tomorrow.
