أَمَا والذي نادى مِنَ الطّورِ عَبْدَهُ

نِداءً سَميعاً فاستجابَ وسَلّمَا

Indeed, by Him who called His servant from the Mount,

He who called his servant from Mount Sinai

with an audible call, so he answered and submitted:

With a summons heard and obeyed,

لق كِدْتُ لولا الله لا شيءَ غيرُهُ

لق كِدْتُ لولا الله لا شيءَ غيرُهُ

تبارَكَ رَبّي ذو العلي أنْ أُصمِّمَا

تبارَكَ رَبّي ذو العلي أنْ أُصمِّمَا

Indeed, I almost—were it not for God, nothing besides Him—

Had I not Allah, save Him naught else exists,

blessed is my Lord, possessor of sublimity—pressed on resolutely.

Blessed be my Lord, the Sublime, that I am steadfast.

ولكِنّني رَوّيتُ في الحِلْمِ والنُّهَى

ولكِنّني رَوّيتُ في الحِلْمِ والنُّهَى

وقَدْ قال فيه ذو المقال فَأَحكما

وقَدْ قال فيه ذو المقال فَأَحكما

Yet I reflected on forbearance and reason,

But I have seen in dreams both wisdom and reproof,

and the speaker had spoken of it, and so spoken soundly.

And the wise man has spoken with wisdom on this matter.
