1. في عهدِ عبدِ العزيزِ المُستغاثِ بهِ

    قامتْ لنا قاعةٌ تَسعَى لَها الأُممُ

    In the reign of Abd al-Aziz, whose aid is sought,

    A hall arose for us, to which the nations hasten.

  2. بدا لِمن أرَّخوها طِيبُ مَجلِسِها

    لمَّا تَجاوَرَ فيها النُّونُ والقَلمُ

    The charm of its gathering place became clear to those who recorded its date,

    When Nūn and the pen stood side by side within it.
