إِلَيْكَ أُهْدِي ثَنَائِي
وأَسْتَقِلُand I deem inadequate الكَلامَاwords
وأَسْتَقِلُ الكَلامَا
To you I offer my praise,
To you I dedicate my praise
And deem words inadequate.
And craft this ode’s refrain

مُخَلَّداً أَحْكَامَا
What could match a book
What can requite a journey made
Immortal in its judgments?
With laws that will remain?

آياتُ عَدلِكَ فِيهَا
قَدْindeed أَحْكِمتْhave been perfected إِحْكَامَاthoroughly
قَدْ أَحْكِمتْ إِحْكَامَا
The signs of your justice within them
Your signs of justice rendered there
Have indeed been thoroughly perfected.
Prevail, precise, the same.
