1. وَمَشِيدٌ مِنَ الصُّرُوحِ رَحِيبٌ

    جَمَعَ المَجْدَ كُلَّهُ فِي فِنَاءِ

    And a spacious, lofty edifice among the palaces

    Gathered all glory within its courtyard.

  2. تَاهَ بِالعِلْيَةِ السَّرَاةِ مِنَ القَوْ

    مِ وَبَاهَى بِالنُّخبَةِ النُّبلاَءِ

    It gloried in the eminent chiefs of the people,

    And boasted of the noble elite.

  3. جَادَهُ كُلُّ مَغْرِسٍ مُسْتَحَادٍ

    بِحِلىً مِنْ فُروعِهِ الخَضْرَاءِ

    Every choice grove showered it

    With ornaments from its green boughs.

  4. وَإلَيْهِ أَهْدَتْ أَفَانِينَ مِن أَز

    هَارِهَا كُلُّ رَوْضَةٍ غَنَّاءِ

    And to it were offered many kinds of flowers

    By every luxuriant garden.
