1. هذا أميرُ المجدِ ذو اللَّمعِ الذي

    مِن قبلهِ في وجهِ موسى يُعهَدُ

    This is the prince of glory, bearing the radiance that

    Was known before him upon the face of Moses.

  2. قد كانَ في الدُّنيا فريدَ زمانهِ

    في كلِّ مَعنىً والخلائِقُ تشهَدُ

    He was indeed, in this world, peerless in his age,

    In every respect, and all creatures bear witness.

  3. يا بدرَ نورٍ في بياضِ تَمامهِ

    جَلَبَ الخُسوفَ عليه يومٌ أسوَدُ

    O radiant full moon, white in its fullness,

    A black day brought an eclipse upon it.

  4. سَمَّوكَ مِن تأريخِ بُرجِكَ أسعداً

    واليومَ حَظُّكَ عندَ ربّكَ أسعَدُ

    They named you As‘ad from the reckoning of your zodiacal sign,

    And today your lot with your Lord is happier.
