1. نَجَاتُكَ سَرَّتْ قَلْبَ كُلِّ مُعَظَّمٍ

    لِشَأْنِ الهُدى فِي الشَّمْسِ وَالجُوْدُ فِي الغَيْثِ

    Your deliverance gladdened the heart of every revered person,

    For the stature of guidance in the sun—and bounty in the rain.

  2. وَمَا كَانَ إِلاَّ الدَّهْرُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَرَى

    لِيَحْدُثَ ذَاكَ الجِرْحُ فِي جَبْهَةِ اللَّيْثِ

    And it was Time alone, from beyond sight,

    That made that wound appear upon the lion’s brow.
