A virgin for God, peace be upon her son
أتت بتولٌ لها دون الأنام عُلاً
لم ترقَها قطُّ من أهل السما قدمُ
A chaste maiden beyond all creation
None from the people of heaven has trod her path
فهي ابنةُ الآب أمُّ الإبن من نبأٍ
عروسةُ الروح فافهم أيها الفَدَم

The Spirit's bride, so understand O ransomed one

Angels all are her servants attending to her
جاءت على أنبياء اللَه سيّدةً
فهي صحيفتُهُم إذ هم لها قلم

For she is their scroll as they are her pen
جاءت إلى الرسل الأخيار مرشدةً
فهي لهم قبسٌ إذ هم لها علَم

For she is their lantern as they are her flag
جاءت إلى الشُهَدا الأطهار منجدةً
فهي لهم في ميادين العدا سِلَم

For she is their ladder in battlefields of foe
جاءت رئيسةَ إبرارٍ تنظِّمُهم
هي الشفيعة هذا اسمٌ لها علَم

She is the intercessor, this is a name for her flag
