إني رأيتك جالسا في مجلس

إني رأيتك جالسا في مجلس

قعد الملوك به لديك وقاموا

قعد الملوك به لديك وقاموا

Indeed, I saw you seated in an assembly,

I saw you sitting in an assembly

where the kings sat before you and rose.

Where kings would sit next to you and stand

فكأنك الدهر المحيط عليهم

فكأنك الدهر المحيط عليهم

وكأنهم من حولك الأيام

وكأنهم من حولك الأيام

So you were like Time, encompassing them,

As if you were time surrounding them

and they were like the days around you.

And they were the days around you
