And obtained reward for the Day of Judgment
وساق الأجور لمخدومه الم
ليكِ الهُمَامِ ومولى الكرامَة

To you, O man of determination and master of generosity
فَنِعْمَ الجميلُ لمن قد بنى
ونِعْمَ الجميل لِمَنْ قد أقامَه

And how good is the kindness of one who maintained it

And extinguished the flames of every oppressor

The strongest sign for peace and security
فلا غَرْوَ أن جاء تاريخُه
سبيلٌ حفيلٌ سبيل السّلامَة

An honored path, the path of salvation
