ذا مسجدٌ سُرَّ أربابُ السُّجود بهِ

وجامعٌ جامعٌ للساجدِ الراكعْ

This is a mosque whose lords of prostration were secretly pleased with it,

A mosque, a gatherer for the prostrating worshipper and the bowing one.

بناه الله منشيه وواضعه

وللقواعد من أركانه رافع

God built it, made it and established it,

And raised its pillars and corners.

يرجو من الله في العقبى مثوبَته

فيا له بثواب الله من طامع

He hopes for its reward in the Hereafter from God,

So what a reward from God he longs for!

دعا إلى صالح الأعمال حينئذٍ

من كانَ لله فيه خاضعاً خاشع

He called then to righteous deeds,

Whoever to God in it was submitting and humble.

فالله يجزيه عما كانَ أنشأه

خيراً وأكرمه من فضله الواسع

So may God reward him for what he had built,

With goodness and honor him from His abundant grace.

إنَّ العِمارة قد زانت عمارتها

أرِّخْ بتعمير عبد القادر الجامع

Indeed, its construction had adorned its building,

Date the restoration of Abd al-Qadir al-Jami.
