1. ولم أرَ مثلَ ذكرِ اللهِ عَونًا

    على الأحزانِ يسمو بالنفوسِ

    And I have seen no aid like the remembrance of God

    Against sorrows, lifting souls on high;

  2. ولا مِثلَ السُّجودِ عُلًا وعِزًّا

    لعَمري إنهُ تاجُ الرُّؤوسِ !

    Nor anything like prostration for loftiness and honor—

    By my life, it is indeed the crown of heads!
