الحمد لله حمداً لا يقاومه

تحميدُ حمدٍ ولا تحميدُ حمادِ

Praise be to God, praise that cannot be resisted,

The praise of One Worthy of Praise, not the praise of the praisers,

لا حَمدَ يعلو كحمدِ الحمدِ فاحظ به

إنْ كنتَ تحمده فصدقه بادِ

No praise can rise higher than the praise of the Praiseworthy One, perceive Him through it,

If you praise Him, meet it sincerely,

فهو الثناء الذي لا مَيْنَ يصحبه

ولا يجوزُ عليه خَرْقُ معتاد

For He is the Praise that no blemish accompanies,

Nor is encroaching upon Him something customary.
